In the few months of riding an 2012 Sworks stumpjumper FSR I broke a total of 4 spokes in the rear wheel. Everytime I break a single spoke and once I also broke the same spoke that was replaced a week earlier by spec shop (I know this because the nipple on this spoke was gray). What is the problem here? My technique is very good and I do not ride very very harsh trails, however for each person harsh means something else
The trails I ride are definitely very rocky and I am pretty sure at least one of the spokes was broken due to a rock being launched from under the wheel into the spoke, but this was only once, every other broken spoke has no signs of impact and they ALL break right at the nipple every time. I weight at 77kg and my technique of riding is very good, I also did not break the carbon rim, just the spokes, I also like to run a very low tire pressure, something along the lines of 1.7 bar, 25 psi
Everytime I break a spoke my trip is ruined and I am pissed, thinking of changing a wheelset into enve or something, because I am thinking my roval wheelset might be at fault, I have another bike an 2012 Sworks Epic that I ride the same way and I never had a single problem with wheels on that bike!!! Is this possible the tension on the spokes is not enough or something? I ride a lot, should my LBS check tension of all the other spokes? They kind of feel useless about this issue and I need to find some advice here to let them know what to do, please help
