Probably know the answer but thought I’d ask as I don’t mess around with wheel building. Had a Hope rear wheel rebuilt at LBS due to eyelet cracks. It’s been rebuilt on a DT Swiss rim with what looks like the same spokes. Spokes felt pretty loose/flexy on pick up. Ridden approx. 80 miles and it’s now impressively out of true.
Sounds like the spokes are probs the wrong length and weren’t properly tensioned? Can’t really face taking it back to the same LBS to get a re-do.
