Poped a spoke on Thursday afternoon, got it repaired, had my best ever commute on Friday, I was around 30 seconds outside my pb over 13 miles, felt strong, like an OX.

Today I fired up my Tacx I Magic, did a warm up in Amsterdam, noticed something wasnt right and hopped off after just 5 miles......Another bleeding spoke bites the dust.

In over 2500 miles on the Ribble I have never poped a spoke, till now, the potholes are getting worse tho....and to top it all off? I cant get it fixed till tomorrow so im commuting on the dreaded Townsend !!!!!

Stay Safe Peeps

Thats a shame matey. Perhaps all the spokes need retensioning to get them all balanced together? I think DT Swiss do a strong 1mm spoke.

I'll mention it to the LBS when I drop it in, such a shame as I was finding my form finally after the RTA in January. It gave my form and confidence a bashing. Ah well eye of the Townsend
