Broken spokes

[Cyclist33]

Are the fulcrums still straight pull spokes?, I am 15 stone and except for salt corrosion on my front Aksium I have did 8000 miles on a set of Fulcrum5s ( 1 broken spoke on rear ) , 4000 miles on Mavic cosmic Elites( no breakages) and 5000 miles on the aksium ( no rear breakages) . so 17000 miles on Straight pull spoked rear wheels and only one snapped spoke .
They don't seem to fatigue like J bend but I have cracked all 3 rear rims

Pay to get them properlyfixed up then flog them as in v good condition. Put proceeds to new wheelset.

Win win!

Too costly even fixing them myself , I did buy another pair of Aksiums so I will use the old ones for spares , on the plus side I do have lots of spare front wheels

Depends on the condition of the rims. If any cracks around spoke holes, or significant concavity on the brake track then definitely cut your losses.
If neither of the above, and you can afford to get these respoked by someone who knows what they are doing, as well buying as set of new 32/36spokers then maybe worth keeping for when you've lost a few lbs?

Rims look Ok so think this sounds like a good plan.
