^ spoke 'flags' work well IME as you can tell exactly how far the spoke has twisted and where it stops twisting and you're actually putting tension into the spoke.
I built a set of wheels with Revs on CXP 33 and they didn't wind up any more than usual, somehow - a quarter turn of twist & untwist.
And they haven't made a sound on the road so I guess there wasn't any residual twist left.
Just make sure you lube the threads and the nipple seats properly.
