I just built some wheels.
Had a nightmare trying to true the rear (road dished), then once almost-perfectly trued, it went totally wobbly on the 2 mile ride home with the wheels on my back... flippin wierd how much it went out.
I was scratching my head looking at these wheels. Then I realised the rims have spoke eyelets that are slightly offset from the middle of the rim - and I'd managed to lace them both the wrong way round, so the spoke is crossing the middle of the rim just before the nipple. Is this why the truing is going so badly wrong?
If I do have to rebuild, how do I dismantle? Do I have to undo each spoke gradually all the way round the rim?
Any help gratefully receieved.
