It turns out that I messed up the rims by riding on them with the low spoke tension:/
I got the wheels aligned but there are big differences in spoke tensions now...
So I'm after some new wheels... does anyone have recommendations? I would like to go 35mm inner width now, budget is 400-500£, there are a few complete wheelset options, Raceface, DT swiss, Hope etc or should I go handbuild?

Did you loosen all the nipples before you started over?

I would personally go handbuilt for that budget, or Chinese carbon with dt hubs

I didn't, I brought it to a wheel builder and he said the wheel needs to be rebuild but this Ryde rim can only be build one time because of deformation.
Another thing I'm considering is buying the same rim one more time (for the rear wheel) and change it and reuse the rest...
