Spontaneous spoke snappage – can this happen? I had a bunch of wheels in storage and I've just pulled out a factory built Easton wheel (from an OTP bike) and 3 spokes on one side have snapped. It's been in storage for a year but I rode on it for 2 years before this with no issues. No real concern as the rim is dead anyway, just strange! Glad it din't happen when I put it on the bike.
