Are the NDS spokes of a disc braked hub more likely to snap from fatigue or lose tension due to the forces of braking being applied at the hub rather than the rim?
I'm being driven mad by my rear wheel Novatec road disc hub, ACI spokes and a 32H 29er Alex rim which constantly has spoke losing tension and snapping despite use of tension gauge, linseed, proper stress relief etc. in building.
