I had a nipple fully bind with the drilling while building with revolution spokes, in a non-eyeleted rim. Being the tit that I am, I was truing away, and not noticing that it was the same spoke causing the wheel to be out. Must had twisted the feck out of that spoke. Because when it decided enough was enough, it gave a massive bang as it unwound itself and quickly discovered it was a couple mm's too short for its position in the world. Scared the poo out of me.
We lives, we learns ;)
