Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

Another question, 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 - is this spoke too short? Will it cause me issues? All the others have no thread visible... cheers in advance!

Build is DT Swiss oxic rim on Bitex hub laced 2x with DT Swiss comps

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.
