broken spokes on Ibex Corrida Ultimate
I've gotten broken spokes twice in the last 700 miles on the rear wheel. I called Ibex; talked with Jack. He said I should have a professional mechanic look at the wheel to determine if the design of the wheel is the cause of the the broken spokes. What would cause broken spokes? Have any Ibex Corrida owners experienced broken spokes? The rear rim is a Ritchey Aero Pro double-wall rim w/OCR rear.

I have an 03 Corrida LT 4.4. I had a broken spoke about a month ago on the rear wheel. I have an Alex R2000 rim. That's the first spoke I broke in over 3000 miles. It cost me $15 at the LBS to replace the spoke and tru the wheel. (They had to take the cassette off)
