Why do spokes break? What makes Easton T3 spokes so much better?
For one thing, according to DT/Swiss, even minute amounts of play in the hub flange will result in the material of the spoke becoming brittle. This condition will leave the spoke susceptible to breakage. (for more information, see the DT/Swiss web site at http://www.dtswiss.com/en/laufradbau-faq.html) Easton T3 spokes are firmly affixed at the hub, and are not subject to such movement.
