Noticed one of the spokes in my DT Swiss R24 front wheel (straight-pull bladed) is not 'flat', rather it's at about 90 degrees of where it should be showing off it's full flat profile to the road ahead.
Unsure what to do about this, it's straight pull, could the whole spoke and nipple have twisted together?
Not put it in a truing stand yet to see if it's out at all but never had concerns on the road, appeared true.
I guess the only answer is to get it on the stand and check the tension but it seems really odd for the spoke to be completely out as it is.
