ok here, in my opinion is your problem: poorly made spokes, with crappy tolerances, and a crappy build from a machine, not a person. the solution is handmade wheel, good light spokes, ie at least double butted, that means they are thinner in th middle, and can flex there, rather than breaking. best spokes: wheelsmith xl 14, butted very thin in the middle, and developed for tandem riding, so you know they are strong. either rebuild your current wheel with those or get a sun cr 18 if your cheap or a mavic rim if money is no issue, and a shimano hub and have your shop build it up. 36 hole...
