I've finished truing up the first wheel - my first ever build and remarkably the warped band of alloy is now pretty true, but there's a mm or so sticking out of a lot of the nipples.
The other wheel will have to wait for truing. I finished lacing it but had 2 spokes with dodgy threading. I guess that's what you get for buying cheap. Strangely, the threads looked really clean. It was a while till I realised they weren't threads at all - just grooves. Bizarre or what?
