They have regularly been. The bike mechanic explained it to me: "You are heavy, and the e-bike is heavy. You also carry your groceries on the rear rack. Now, your e-bike motor is powerful. It exerts a big stress on the rear hub, spokes and the rim. These three groups of components are the part of the equation, and neither can be ignored. Now, I'm not in the position to tell you what new wheel you need; do a little research yourself. I'll only can give a little hint to you: start with a DT Swiss 350 rear hub... but then make your homework yourself".
Oh I did. I only asked the mechanic to make the spoke choice and calculations for me. That wheel has been with me for 4 years already, no issues.
They simply crack, right?
