I have a 94 marin sausulito with a reasonably good back wheel except 3 spokes have snapped in quick succession.
I've put a new one on twice and while I'm no expert i managed to get it pretty true (i was quite pleased with it - less than 1mm out i think) and none seemed particularly tight or loose.
I don't want to fix it again if another one will just go.
The first two were next to each other, third was on the other side but not directly opposite.
Google suggests replacing all the spokes. Is that a good idea? Looks like about £30 for a set on ebay from China. Various weights, not sure what's suitable.
The whole bike cost £50 so I don't want to spend a fortune. Its in great nick aside from this and a great commuter.
Its a 700c wheel.
Any advice gratefully received!
