I received / purchased this S7 front wheel and want to relace it with black spokes, I measured the old / original spokes at 269 mm just under 10 5/8" and it has 5/8" -16mm nipples. Here is what they look like on the wheel. The spoke threads are not quite into the nipple head and there are a few threads showing when it is tight. The wheel seemed solid and I was riding around on it with no issues.
Is this sub optimal? Should I replace with spokes that are a few mm longer? Am I spitting hairs here? I will be riding this bike often. Thanks for any help
