My 3rd broken spoke today.
1st at 300 miles, 2nd at about 800, 3rd at about 1100.
Flecc reckoned it could (in part) be the slightly disproportionate pedalling action caused by the one plastic leg - obviously although I PUSH with the left leg, the lack of calf muscles etc. means that it gets less power than the right-hand side.
Anyway, that's one theory. Are rear-hub ebikes particularly prone to popping spokes? Or is it Wispers? Or is it my weight (at 115kg its way over the recommended rider-weight, even though David at Wisper claims to out-rank me in this respect).
My bike shop, who repair the spokes for a nominal fee, is old and trusted, and checks and adjusts the whole wheel, of course, as well as the broken item. Would it help if I 'pinged' each spoke once a fortnight, listening for any dull-sounding ones?
