Oops or **** it! Rear wheel re-spoke update

(1/5) > >>

billdn:
So after useful advice on re-spoking I carried on and all was going well until this happened, and it wasn't fully tensioned I reckon, any ideas for remedy or is it another rear rim time >:(
The shoulder of the nipple has pulled through the rim opening, it's a new rim so not used or corroded!

Bryanj:
That has to be a bad, or badly drilled rim

taysidedragon:
The hole next to the damaged one looks too big for the spoke nipple. They are either drilled too big or you have the wrong size spokes/nipples. 😟

billdn:
I bought them as a set of rims and spokes from DS for £159.00 all in, so I would like to think that they are compatible spokes to holes - However they no longer appear on their list of parts for the 400/4 - hmm I smell a rat. I have emailed DS and will wait and see!

Trigger:
If i remember correctly, when Sliver was a member on this forum, he did say that he sells rims of different quality ranging from Lada to the DID Rolls Royce  ;) You may have bought the very low quality ones.
