Why do I need more spokes on my rear wheel?
If your hub and rim can take more spokes too, consider increasing the spoke count. Rear wheels take more than half the load of a normal bike, normally around 60% of the whole bike+rider’s weight Given you have a heavy motor in there as well. The motor’s weight is also unsprung weight, so it will affect the wheel more than the rider’s weight.
Why are my spokes breaking on my bike?
The size of the hub does not allow an ideal lacing pattern, so bouncing off kerbs, potholes and cobbles will cause the unsprung weight of the hub to put excessive strain on both the spokes and the rim. I would try a stronger section rim as it is my opinion that the flex in your rim is causing your spokes to fracture.

Why are spokes on my wheel too short?
One very common failure in wheels is caused by incorrect spoke length. The first example of this is spokes that are too short when used in conjunction with aluminum nipples. Figure 1 graphically shows this situation. It is critical that the spoke extend all the way through the head of the nipple.
Can a loose spoke cause a spoke to fail?
Nothing will cause spoke failure faster than loose spokes. Be sure to lubricate the threads and the dimple in the rim where the nipple seats. Check the trueness of the rim from where the tyre bead seats rather than from the outer side. Vernon Fueston ([email protected]) on NOC-L 1st. Dec 1997 The wheel should be relaced completely.
