y'all say to zip tie the spokes where they cross.
Would that be where they cross towards the rim/tire, or towards the hub, or both?

With any luck you will make it another 34065 km without any issues, that would be significantly more impressive than cruising the drag. ::013::greg the pole said:once you ping them once, tie wrap them, and be done with it.
I have not touched my spokes in 35 km, with zero issues.

I also imagine that the spokes flex in normal use and maybe you need to be careful if you did this with over tight lock-wire as you may move any high loads along the spoke and actually put more pressure on the ends? just a thought? :question:
