If the rim is bent or the spokes are as tight as you can get them. I had a rim where the drive side was out of threads so there really wasn't anything I could do further other than de-tension the entire thing and try and rebuild but it was a 30 year old wheel at that point and probably was time for replacement which was fine. Took the 7400 hubs off and got a close enough H+Son TB14 rim in Hard Anodized Grey and rebuilt with fresh spokes and nipples and really cannot complain now they look so much nicer and have a fresh rim to travel many more years.
