"too much thread
[too long spoke] means the spoke nipple binds and the spoke sticks
out
to a point where it could puncture the tube [depending on rim]. *the
practical solution therefore is a spoke ending at or about the point
where the spoke nipple ends. *and that's really all there is to it.

if the length is specified at Andrew Muzi's point as an ERD located
spoke length
then the spoke is practically too long
caws when it is tightened

"the spoke nipple binds and the spoke sticks out

no, this is /after/ it's tightened. *before tightening, correct length
spokes are nowhere near the ends of the spoke nipples.

YES! but the tape measure from hub hole to inside rim surface plus
distance to the outside eyelet surface is the path of SPOKE LENGTH
measurement. off course the discussion is spoke length in nipple after
tightening to road torques. An ERD is not the final chosen length. I'd
say Andy Muzi's finish spoke length is a nice piece of work but to far
in for practical long distnace cycling. Around the block ok but not
over the road and over to Santa Fe.
