This wheel has been quite the teacher over the past few days as I’ve never so much as taken on a simple trueing job before.
Fairly straight & round to begin with, but spoke tensions were all over the place. Best solution I could figure was to basically rebuild. In other words, the wheel was completely loosened & each nipple came off one at a time for a lubricating dose of Tenacious Oil to ease the rest rest of the process.
As of this morning it’s finally dialed into the zone. Radially true to within 0.90 mm & the only hop being at at the seam. Drive side tension is at ~100kgf while non drive is ~65kgf with no more than 10% deviation in either side. Radially less than 2 mm lateral runout & dish is just about spot on.
It’s ready for the fine adjustments, and finishing. And I’m ready for more learning!
