Spare Wheel: Spokes Out

Took out all the spokes from the spare today.  Had to Dremel cut the 4 frozen ones.

One strange thing I discovered yesterday was that even though the NOS Honda spokes were the correct length for a cross-2 lacing, the nipples I have don't fit the threads (nipples are too big).

But I just ordered the full 36-spoke set including nipples anyway, so sort of moot.
