Yet another broken spoke in the back wheel. That's 4 times now. Had it fixed and trued a few times, but that's enough. Will look into another wheel this time.
not again !

Done two myself since I got the bike, thought I suspect the wsize of the rider might be a factor 
The other day I felt the wheel wobble on the way home, checkedf a couple of spokes which needed tensioning, so I trued the wheel up. Halfway through the exercise I found the broken spoke... What a n00b, should have checked that first.
So I replaced the spoke and started to true it again but now everything I did just seemed to make it worse. My increasing frustration wasn't helping, so when I got to the point of flinging it down the bottom of the garden I took it to a LBS.
