I've always found a few threads is fine, that is a load and quite dodgy I think.
But ... it is a small wheel with a stiff rim and lots of spokes.
Can you pump the tyre up hard and get another few turns on <<< possibly really bad advice, proceed with caution
-
if you change the nipples with some 16mm ones, the threads would be covered more. but you would have to relace/re-true the whole wheel
-
Jeez, those spokes are WAAAAAY too short. The first few mm of the nipple is just bare shank - no threads at all so you'll be lucky if you have more than a thread or two actually engaged inside the nipple. Longer nipples are not the answer. I wouldn't be surprised if you could yank those spokes out by hand.
New spokes, sorry.
(Edit. I presume you do have some tension in those spokes?) -
Second spoke from the right is showing 7 or 8 threads. I wouldn’t trust the seller.
-not sure why the rest of the responses didn’t show up, didn’t mean to add to the dog pile.

This amount of threads showing isn't ideal is it? Looks to be about 6/9 threads showing at points. How bad is it and will the wheel explode if ridden?
