Quoted message said:Hello,
The spokes on my rear wheel keep breaking (three so far in
two weeks). Every time I replaced a spoke, the truing was
OK, but it just did not stop spokes from breaking. Could
there be something wrong that I did not see?
Of course there is. The wheels were probably poorly built and the spokes
fatigued. Most of the spokes on that same side of the wheel are probably
all at the breaking point.
Quoted message said:The current drive train is seven-speed. I was thinking of
putting in place a wheel with a six-speed cassette. I
suppose there will be fewer broken spokes. Will the six-
speed cassette work with the seven-speed chain and rear
derailleur?
Just rebuild the 7 spd wheel and make sure the job is done properly.
I suggest getting a copy of 'The Bicycl Wheel' by Jobst Brandt .
