The Zircal ones, how badly do they degrade over time? Just had the second one snap on me in as many weeks.

After the bearings gave up on my Pro2’s I’ve stuck an old pair of CrossMax SL’s on the HT, they’ve been hanging up in the garage for a few years and I’m wondering if the spokes have gone off. Will they keep snapping; don’t want the wheel to collapse on me.

I have a pair & replaced 2 in the 9 years I've had them ( both rear) one failed, one lost out to a rock)
Maybe worth checking spoke tension correct spanner & loctite )

I guess the answer may be yes. While replacing todays bust one, with what turned out to be my last spare, another snapped.

Oh, and qwerty, yes.
