How many times can you reuse spokes?

on-yer-bike

After only one winter for the rear rim my H+Sons are only showing a pin prick of a wear dot, hardly visible. The back spokes have now had two rims, the front one rim, but the front spokes are thin 2,1.5,2. Both are 32 spoke. If better to replace spokes I will look at Pacenti to make a change and maybe tougher too.

The Pacenti will need shorter spokes

Your braking too much obviously.

As much as i need to on hilly terrain covered in rock salt. Does this answer my question about reusing spokes?

At the second rebuild I would change them

Time to get a disc equipped road bike? Especially if you are chewing through rims regularly....

Thats rather more expensive than a new pair of rims which I fit myself.
