I bought a very nearly new Specialised Rockhopper and there is a problem with the back wheel as the spokes on the wheel keep snapping and now the wheel is out of true.I do not know why this is happening as i have never had this problem with any bike i have had in the past so i am at a loss to explain it other than to say the spokes on the wheel are cheap crap or its my weight on the bike that is stressing the wheel as i weigh in at about 17 stone.
It looks like the back wheel is going to have to be replaced.Its like whenever i get a flat tyre its always the back wheel that gets a puncture and never the front.
Ah, designed obsolescence. Don't you just love it?
