Last two happened after hill climb (like 15% grade in one section).

I used Park tool spoke tension meter to make sure tension variation was within 10% range when I trued the wheel.
It only happened on rear wheel. Front has been always perfectly true.

Does anybody encounter similar problem ? I am trying to figure out what could be the cause and how I can prevent this. I would appreciate any input.

Thank you
Koshi
Sorry, I got off topic on my last reply ...

Koshi, it would help to know if, during any truing of your wheel, any lubrication was ever applied to your nipples???
