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

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

From the look I got when I pointed out the offending spoke, and handed them the rest of the spokes they’d not been able to source (I managed to get them in 2 days) I’d say they give zero fuchs... needless to say I won’t bother with them again
