How do you break a spoke? I jump off curbs, go over bumps, take bike to hell and back and the spokes haven't broken yet... though I've broke a freewheel, derailer, a whole rim :eek:

It's a couple of years old so the spokes are probably not tight enough. It broke on flat pavement. :Q

Haha, you have no concept of "hell and back"

A friend of mine literally rode his mountain bike down cliffs. He had a $6,000 bike, and had broken every single part on it, including the frame, at least once.
