Hi,
I just built my first wheel. I used Jobst Brandts book and Sheldon’s internet wheel building article. I built the wheel then trued it, it was strait and round I was very happy. Then I stress relieved (squeezed parallel spokes together with a firm/strong grip) the wheel was then trued again but I could not get it as true as my first truing before the stress reliving. What did I do wrong? Should I still be tweaking the wheel? The rim is a sunrim cr18, 36 spokes and 3 cross patern.
Thank you very much
Pete
