It has been pointed out several times that the problem is NOT excess spoke length that can be trimmed off.Trim the excess length after truing the wheel and before applying the rim tape. That is why we have small angle grinders.
We also have schools that not only teach you how to read, but also to understand the written word. I suggest you read my post again, maybe twice or thrice, if that doesn't suffice perhaps the pictures will give you a clue as to the problem.Trim the excess length after truing the wheel and before applying the rim tape.

They can thread spokes as well. Cost is about $1.00 per. So basically any spoke of correct diameter can be cut to spec. I’ve used this method often. Same problem with bike wheels as motor cycle. (I think)

Are you new to the internet? You might want to check out this instructional video:I'm really, really surprised at the number of really, really stupid people willing to make comment on something they know absolutely nothing about. The mind boggles!
Personally, I think it’s a combination of people that are not properly reading what was written, and a written description that was a bit confusing. I know I had to re-read it a couple times to realize the spikes were not too long, just that they had too many threads.I'm really, really surprised at the number of really, really stupid people willing to make comment on something they know absolutely nothing about.

The originals sure look like they were cut. They lasted for a long time? Maybe I wouldn't on a motorcross bike but this is an Low powered street bike???I wouldn't. Cutting threads on a die gives a weaker spoke than spokes that are roll threaded.
What's a little "tweaking"? The bikes I work on the spec is .30" I get them within 1/2 of that working with new stuff, within usually unless really beat up.How do you get hoops so perfect that you can bottom the threads out and it all be true with no adjustment? Serious question! Both of my bikes run true enough but they could use a little tweaking
Only the outer part of the ****** is threaded. The inner part where the wrench flats are is drilled smooth and just hides the threads. There's quite a bit of range where the threads are hidden but you're not bottomed out.How do you get hoops so perfect that you can bottom the threads out and it all be true with no adjustment?
