Because touring bike, I finally got round to loosening off and measuring a spoke on the rear wheel of the SMGTe, so that I could obtain a couple of spares to cable-tie to the luggage rack strut for times of need
[1]. 237mm both sides for those playing along at home, which is nowhere near any of the spare spokes in my collection.
While doing this I discovered the wheel was laced on a Friday afternoon:
Hard to see from the photo, but those spokes aren't touching at the crossing, because they're crossing on the wrong side. Two crossings were like that (though the spoke tension wasn't significantly affected). Now sorted, wheel trued and stress-relieved. Just need to wait for the rim to fail where the eyelets aren't.
I know HPVelotechnik have form for economising in the wheel department, but you'd think once a Roholoff hub was involved they'd make a decent effort with quality control, if not the choice of components
[2].
[1] This strategy successfully prevented spoke breakages on the previous incarnation, but they did come in handy on a couple of occasions when I found myself in need of a pokey-thing.
[2] 2.0mm plain gauge spokes, no-name single wall disc brake rim, nasty plastic rim tape[3]. I think the hub on the front wheel that I'm not using was underwhelming, too.
[3] Immediately replaced with Velox, because touring bike.
