Hello, Just came from a bike shop after my first spoke break.
Broke 3 but found others loose. Tire rim is 'S' bent.
1. Should spokes be periodically checked and tightened if loose - and is this related to spoke breaking?
2. The bike shop man said the disk brake plate makes spokes shorter and possibly stonger. He pondered putting on just the plate with shorter and thus stronger spokes. Would this help?
3. I got the steel spoke rim from GEBE June 2007. Would these be 14 gauge or the stronger 12 gauge? Do you recommend less than 12 gauge?
Thank you from Timcycle
