Dont do what I did (too much spoke tension) I took a picture of what can
happen. I did crash but was wearing a helmet, that and my backback took
brunt of fall, so no real injuries.

drive side tension is higher than non-drive, your wheel bent non-drive
side; I think the nipples are the wrong guage for the spokes, meaning
not enough thread holding the spoke which pulled loose at the top
causing the wheel to collapse as it did when it came round. it caused
your crash. alum nipples maybe ?

did the wheel collapse before or after your crash?

Don't you know that wheel failure is linked to helmet use?
It's all explained over at rec.uk.cycling.bozos
Pay attention!
