Hi

My friend caught my spoke in his pedal don't even ask!!

The spoke looking from the riding position looks perfect

Looking from the side profile you can see the spoke has rippled very lightly.

I had a similar issue with DT Aerolite spokes due to a tree branch that got caught between the seat seatstays and the spokes. They got bent and I kept riding for some months. I only swap the spokes because they ended braking.

get it replaced as that spoke is more likely to fail runing a ride home one day in the future.
