oh well, i did rebuild the wheel was a fun learning experience and i saw i had 3 of my old spoke twisted as hell, replaced them, grand total with 40 nipple and 4 spokes (bought a spare one) 9,58$
and i have stainless steel nipples

a new wheel would have been minimum 55$ (thats with checking the 7 LBS around here)

now the whel is dished perfectly, is perfectly straight and all in all it took me 4 hours of free time to disassemble and reassemble the wheel for a first time, i even refurbished the spokes (duplicolor silver wheel paint FTW)
