Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

What type of riding do you do? How harsh a rider are you and how heavy? How old was the wheel that had the spokes break?

Thicker (lower gauge number) spokes may not help unless you are using 15 ga non-butted spokes now.
