Folks,
I have been having troubles with non-drive side spoke failures on
the rear wheel of my Infinity LWB. I was hoping that someone here
might have some advice. They failed on the 27" stock wheel, they
evenutally failed on a used 700c wheel (concave Winemann off of a
Trek 360)and again after I had it relaced.They have failed on a
brand new Sun CR-18 with Wheelsmith DT spokes and an Ultegra hub
that I just had built. The spokes are failiing at the bend right at
the hub.
I had a frame failure about a year ago. The guy who rewelded it was
not a bike builder but he did put it back where it was and welded a
reinforcing plate to the area.
Could some type of frame missalignment be causing the spoke
failures? If so, what should I be looking for? I have been playing
with this since last August and could use some advice.
Here is a link to a Yahoo group dedicated to the Infinity in case
you want to see what it looks like.
