• How do you build stress relief into a wheel?

    We all build stress into wheels, good builders relieve bending loads in the spokes before giving the wheels to the end user. Obviously, failure to stress-relieve is unlikely to be the issue on your wheels with their straight-pull spokes 🙂

  • Got it, ta. So presumably the issue is residual spoke wind up? Sorry, wheelbuilding luddite so thanks for holding my hand.

  • presumably the issue is residual spoke wind up?

    Let's hope so, as that can be simply and permanently fixed by your wheel builder.
    It could be the carbon progressively failing at the nipple support and your wheels will never be straight for long, although looking on the bright side that does mean they will probably fail catastrophically before too long, so you won't have to make too many visits to the repair shop 🙂
