I probably will leave it as-is, just sorta frustrating to have that happen since it wasn't my first rodeo. Now, when I was a kid I took a wheel apart and respoked it "for the fun of it." When it went back together, all the spokes were too long. That was an early lesson in the different spoke cross patterns.
