Thanks to all of you for your comments
I decided to leave the bike in my LBS to replace the last broken spoke and have the opinion of the mechanic for my build. He said that I did a good job building the wheel and he could not see any good reason for the spokes barking.
I think that the ACI spokes are of just basic quality and with combination with the weight (myself 85k + rucksack 5-10k + the lock 2k = around 95 kilos) and the bad London roads they brake.
Still, I will spend some time this weekend to check the tension of each spoke and to tighten them a bit more…lets see?????
Any tips on how to check all spokes are evenly tensioned???
