I have juste finished building a 700C wheel with a RH212 hub motor and Sapim e-strong spokes. The way the spoke bends just after the nipple makes me a bit nervous. Is it acceptable to have such small bent? The spoke angle is a bit more than 70 degree so I thought it would be OK. The nipples though are going straight out of the rim (no angle) and therefore there is a tsmall "lever arm" with the rim.
I am worried about the effort on the rim holes and therefore on the strength of the wheel itself.
Do you think it is acceptable/safe?
