• Any tips how to stop straight-pull spokes from coming loose (at least I assume this is what’s happening)?

    Brand new prime attacquer wheels, rim brake. Been for a few rides, every time I get home to realise a 5mm buckle and several very loose/rotated non-drive spokes. Non drive spokes are crossed but not interlaced - could that be a build error?

  • I also picked up a set of those wheels in the Wiggle going bust sales a few months ago. Terrible spoke tension, they constantly need truing!

  • Dang. I’ve just been working on it - detensioned the non-drive to interlace them and (with very even drive-side tension) the rim is all over the place.

    I did my best getting it straight but I think I’ll end up re-rimming with a stiffer rim.

    Shame. They felt quite nice to ride…
