MR. Kristinn Thorlaksson

Thanks for all the replies.

Nobody has said they have been stuck out in the "boonies" after their spoke nipples and threads ripped apart. That is reassuring.

I rode on my wheel today and it felt as expected. I stopped to check a few times and everything was set.

However, paying 57 dollars for a custom wheel job should be 100% satisfactory. Maybe I should go haggle for a better wheel job.
