Bearing adjustment / spoke tensioning
 

My new wheels from Decathlon are really nice.
However the rear one was making a squeaking noise,
which I'm sure is coming from the hub.
It seems to have cured itself now after a 40 mile ride on Saturday.

I'd like to do a good job on getting the bearing adjustment right.
Also on tensioning up the spokes - without resulting in pretzel
shaped wheels.
Anyone got good pointers on either? I am aware of Sheldon Brown.

I found this Park Tool article very useful when I stripped a rear
hub:

Thankyou. That is very helpful, and I will give it a try later.
Clamping the wheel into one of the dropouts only is a smart idea.
