Thanks and phew, glad to hear as I have an upcoming trip and was considering relacing the affected spokes.

it just has a very small effect on redistribution of stresses under load and provides an additional constraint on how stuff moves when strained

Any pointers as to where I can read about this? I'd like to understand a bit more. Cheers

Jobst Brandt explains why wheels were traditionally interlaced and how, I can't remember how much he goes into the scale of the effects. Damon Rinard did the analysis for Jobst on how the even more robust interconnection at the crossing by tieing and soldering makes a negligible difference.
