Thicker (lower gauge number) spokes may not help unless you are using 15 ga non-butted spokes now.
Road riding, mostly solo- 1 group ride/week
Not terribly harsh, but I was in an interval (high gear, mid 90s cadence) when the last spoke broke.
I'm about 175 lbs.
The wheel had about 1200 miles before the snapping started.
How can I tell what type of spokes are on the wheel?
