I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don’t have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won’t happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up.
PSA: keep a few zip ties in your repair kit.
Honestly if they broke that easily it was only a matter of time before a big shock to the rear wheel did the same thing
