if thats the only spoke showing threads thats a bit of a red flag, I mean, text book, you dont want to be seeing any threads

I'm only an enthusiastic hobbyist, but I wouldn't consider that acceptable for one of my builds. That's going to put a lot of extra load on the head of the spoke nipple, which has a hard enough life as it is.

I’ve had a rear built up by a LBS (never used them before) and I’ve got the wheel back after 2 1/2 months as ‘they couldn’t get hold of the spokes’. I’ve just noticed that one spoke has 3 or 4 threads still exposed

How do people sleep at night with shit service like this?!
