But do remember this.. you cannot teach an old dog new tricks lol.
I will admit w sound and feel even given my Midland hearing I can do a good job without my tension meter. Get your wheel very round while eliminating the poorly tensioned or over tension spokes per each side on the rear. Once you're round you're pretty much done. It's just a matter of adding the subtracting tension per side to get the lateral true right on.
Throw the brost book in the garbage... Where it belongs.
