Popping spokes, have I angered the gods?
Ok.. so maybe slamming into potholes and hopping curbs wasn't the best idea.... but it's pretty unavoidable in NYC.

Anyway, 2 years later and maybe 2500 miles on my reynolds carbon dv clinchers, the rear wheel has lost 3 individual spokes in random places all on the drive side.

So.. aside from the obvious (stop hopping curbs) does anyone have any idea why the drive side keeps popping?
