Oh, I misunderstood. I have probably broken 10 rear spokes over 32 years of riding. Never broken a front. In fact I had some Performance aero spokes on a pair of wheels that were breaking constantly on rhe rear. I had to replace them all with Wheelsmiths. But I left them on the front and rode that front wheel another ten years with nary a single break. I thought my experience was standard.
