I've had my hope pro 2 mavic 719 wheels for around 18 month now, in the last 2 week I've snapped 2 spokes on the rear drive side, just wondering whether its time for new wheels? I've replaced the spokes but I'm worried that more are going to snap.

Take them to a good LBS mate i've had wheels for YEARS and not had spokes snapping :shock:. Sounds like uneven tension imho.

More may snap - once a couple go is usually a sign of spoke fatigue. See how you get on, if another goes, have the wheel rebuilt with new spokes.0

Sounds like its nearly time for a rebuild on the rear wheel.0

I had a load go in the same place because I had shifted the chain into the spokes a few times too many and damaged the spokes. Just bought a handful of spokes from the LBS and changed them, not had any problems since. Do the snapped ones show any signs of damage like that?0

replaced spokes and checked tension of other spokes, seem ok now, got 19 mores spokes in case! lol0
