Thanks for those diagrams. They clued me in on spoke dynamics.
It has been a year and no broken spokes. Then again there are not near as many potholes in my new town.
Am I reading this right. Can I change the mechanism inside a hub without changing the hub itself?
For a freewheel, you can just put on a new freewheel but that doesn't solve the problem of the axle. If you want a freehub, you have to get a new hub but they are fairly cheap for just the hub and not too expensive for a wheel with a freehub.
