Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.

I usually advise customers to chalk 2 spoke failures up to chance, and then consider having the wheel rebuilt with new spokes.

Those bikes came with reasonably speced wheels. If you are on the heavier side, or especially if you frequently carry luggage, ride less than smoothly, or on especially rough terrain, you will likely benefit from a rebuild by a good wheel builder with double butted spokes.
