I'm 170 lbs (a bit less than bigbossman's 2,000), so I have to figure there's some problem with that wheel.

I had a wheel that had a couple spokes break at that end. I figured out the problem after the 2nd spoke broke. I had the drive spokes routed to non-drive openings, and vice-versa

. Mistake was quickly fixed, and never repeated.
