Truing the the crummy Velo Mine wheel for the forth or fifth time.



Back story - brand new wheel went out of whack after 100 miles. Not happy, but chalked it up to poor tensioning by VM.

Then it started happening every 100 miles. When I checked, one spoke would be slack. After the 3rd time I marked the spoke and it was the same one.

Basically, they sent me a wheel with a stripped nipple. Replaced the nipple and see what happens. Done with Velo Mine forever.
