390 posts and I haven't posted in this version of the AT yet. That's disgraceful. Guess I haven't had any dumb questions to ask. So I'll ask one now.

Mate bough a second hand Trek 1200 (about a 2002 model I think). Not sure what wheels are on it. They have a high spoke count but he keeps on busting spokes in the rear. He's only a light bugger (70kg for a 6 footer) so it's not his weight. His bike shop rekons he needs to get the wheel rebuilt. So he was thinking he'd put some decent spokes in it, but nothing to expensive. Wanting a second opinion other than what the shop will palm off on me, he was wondering what spokes he should get.

What you boys rekon?
