Hendrix believes they were older chrome spokes. As I have broken spokes often in the past, I have a Harbor Freight tire remover rig. Over the years, I have replaced spokes with stainless so I believe their strength puts excess train on the chrome ones. I think
I have now replaced 80% of the chrome ones on that wheel. I don't drive hard or drive during pot hole season. However, going to CHW on interstate 5, I hit many "uneven" construction areas with considerable jolts. Usually, I have only had to replace one spoke
ever year or two. Outer spokes are easy and I have never had to replace the inner shorter ones.</div>

<div dir="auto">I'm intrigued to hear of your broken spoke issue. I haven't experienced even 1 broken spoke for many many years. Do you have any insight as to the cause? It's something that I would very much like to avoid.

Hendrix has done my wheels (and break drums) for 20 years. No shakes! Price is very fair but shipping is the killer. I came home from California Healey Week in San Louis Obispo last summer with 7 broken spokes. $250 for shipping wheel with tires to Hendrix.
Allens work, with balance, truing wheels and re shaving tires was about $125 and $125 for shipping back. When I needed new tires two years ago, they are sent direct to Hendrix overnight. He is very fast. The UPS, not so much. As I live in snow country, I have
a very short driving season so speed is important to me.</div>

spoke tension when originally built, and once that occurs no amount of balancing will resolve things. </span></font></p>
