Spokes are generally made with a rolled thread, leaving the outer edge of the thread larger than the plain spoke and the inner edge less indented than a died thread would be, resulting in a larger minimum cross section at the thread with higher tensile strength. For this reason putting threads on spokes with a die is inadvisable. It is always best to use a nipple of the correct size for the spoke.
