heh, np.
also if you want to get vertice welded for you, aslong as you made those guides before and everything lines up, apply the weld vertice modifier to your collection of spoke. (im assuming you alreadyattached each spoke to eachother so that when you select it is one object.) and set the weld threshold to whatever grabs your verts. but the problem is if you got the verticy not lining up that well using a stronger threshold might weld verticy in chamfered areas.
