That was me. I bought Dunlop wheels from MWS in the UK about 20 years
ago... and suffered through a ton of broken spokes (one wheel of 72
spokes had over 25 broken spokes at one point) until I had the wheels
rebuilt and retrued by BWW in California about 15 years ago. They
put in SS spokes and tossed the chromed steel spokes, and since then
the tires have given me no problems. I would assume Dunlop has
improved their manufacturing since then...
