[Healeys] Spokes & Tubes

[Roger Grace]

Yes me too.
Same story but about 5 spokes on RR.
I was told that it is usually the RR wheel ?
What wheel was your failure on ?
Much to my chagrin Dayton told me that with a AH 3000 we should be using 72 
and not 60 spokes.
Hendrix confirmed that Dayton had had a bad batch of brittle spokes a few
years back
Replaced the spokes and drove for a few months.
However, not wanting to struggle with this issue then bought 72 spokers from
MWS

Subject: [Healeys] Spokes & Tubes

Rich Kahn’s post and the following discussion about the HF tire changer
began with his need to install inner tubes because of air loss and to
replace broken spokes.
I’m curious to know how common those problems are among wire wheel owners.

I ask because after returning from a 1200 mile trip to Rendezvous earlier
this summer I discovered a rear wheel with 15 consecutive broken spokes, a
pretty frightening percentage on a 60-spoke wheel.  I bought the wheels new
and they have about 12,000 miles on them.  Never raced or abused.  Needless
to say, they are past the 3 year warranty period.

How common is the problem of broken spokes?
Thanks,
Charlie Frazer
