Apologies if this has been asked before. In short, the wheel I am building goes out of true when inflated with inner tube.
After riding it out of true ~1-2mm laterally for about 15 miles, the wheel didn't change shape. I deflated it and trued it. When inflated to 90psi again it is out of true by a similar amount. I do not have a tesniometer but judging by sound and by feel the tensions do have some variation. The nipples were not too tight to turn, though a bit lube was applied between them and the rim.
It's a DT Swiss RR411 28H on SP PV-8 with Laser spokes. The tyre is a Schwalbe Pro One tubeless 23mm, currently with innertube as I am sealing it after the build. I have built 3 wheels and they were all okay, but those were 32h wheels with thicker spokes.
Should I be worried about different tensions? Should I just be satisfied with a wheel that is true with inflated tyre, or should I remove the tyre and start over? Oh and the ride felt harsh but not lively, any likely factor other than generally too high tension? Cheers
