I've got a wheel from my local bike shop that supposedly more heavily built with 12ga spokes coster brake arm says HiStop and the sticker said 26x 2.125 Wheel Master so not sure what it is and i'm using a Manic Mechanic adapter clamp.
Since i built the bike i've constantly had problems with the back wheel going out of true. and then about a month ago i had 2 spokes break their heads at the hub.then i got another one break a couple of days ago. someone mentioned that the adapter might be loose but i've already checked that and it's on there as tight as i would dare try,it aint touching the spokes.
of course it would seem to me that the spokes are breaking because their not properly tensioned but that brings back the question, why do the spokes keep coming loose?
So if anyone could give me some pointers as to what i could be doing wrong or what might be bad..
Also anyone that posts would you mind telling what kind of wheel setup is and if you have problems with spokes. Thanks
Oh..im running a 4stroke husheng with the ezqmatic trans. not a 2stroke
