Still, not much fun if you ring the soft aluminium threads off one of
them by overtightening the spoke.

how would you do that? unless you're an unschooled amateur

that's not using a tensiometer.

inability to follow instruction

is hardly a design flaw.

I didn't say it was.

Actually IIRC these wheels have aluminium spokes too so it's not clear
whether the rim threads would strip before the ones on the end of the
spoke.
