I have built a new front wheel using 36 hole Ultegra hub, Mavic Open Pro rim and DT double butted
spokes. I have it trued up to a point, but now it seems that I can no longer make fine enough
adjustments to the spokes to bring the wheel to dead flat.
I oiled the spoke threads & nipples when I laced the wheel, and I think the wheel is pretty tight. I
have been stress relieving with the squeeze method. The wheel is at the point where I get a lot of
spoke twist when I turn the wrench, making a fine adjustment difficult. Any hints?
By the way, I have enjoyed building the wheel, and I'd like to try it again and get better at it,
but I don't need any more wheels. How do people who are not building commercially get a volume of
experience?
