Dean,
I have a 2013 Giant Defy Advanced 2, but am up to my third spoke on the rear wheel. Pull spoke on the non-drive side, the drive side is radial. The original rear tire is showing wear. My investigations show that the DT spokes supplied are dodgy and Giant is replacing the wheel.
However at well over 100kg I think I want a different option.
An asymmetric rear rim and butted straight pull spokes should fix the problem.
Something like a DT RR440 asymmetric 24 hole or a Velocity Synergy O/C (asymmetric) MSW 24 hole in black and first choice Sapim Force triple butted straight pull spoke or second choice DT Competition double butted straight pull spokes all in black should build a very reliable wheel.
I prefer a wider rim to run 28 tyres.
Please supply price and availability
Dan
