I recently warped a rear wheel that was true a few weeks ago. Thought I’d true it today with the spoke tension, but found that instead of a single warp point the aluminum rim (an Araya had about five waves from true. No recollection of how the rim bent-did I likely hit multiple chuckholes, or is there likely some other phenomenon at issue?
The magnitude is such that even when the opposite flange spokes were fully tightened, the low tension side spokes were slack. Couldn't straighten even applying force opposite the bulges-so is that rim a goner or is there some alignment technique for major warped wheels?
