dogsballs [quote]stevo_com that is partly true, but I didn't build the wheel. plus, it was a cheapo one so never knew the quality of the spokes. thought it might be relevant none the less.
i htought you built all your wheels? ;) Funny as loads of people say that machine built wheels don't have a lot of tension, a few i've got are really cranked up???[/quote]

not only that, they are cranked up hard and not de-stressed.

spokes should not bind so as to create dents!

if it is the spokes, then it sounds like clefty's wheel is de-stressing itself now, rather than when it should have been (ie at the wheelbuilding stage)

course, it could be any number of things, but as I've learned from experience, I don't like to diagnose without looking at or even riding the bike in question.
