Hot nipples (wheel truing)
I note my non-drive side spokes are looser than I'd like and plan to give them a 1/4 turn.
I don't think it should affect my centering much, but, anyway, since it's been a long time I'm planning to put a drop of transmission fluid on each nipple then heat it briefly w/ a propane torch, or maybe vice-versa, heat then oil, just so I can make sure they are not too bound up. Good idea? Bad idea? I'll hold off a day until some opinions roll in. ph in Aptos |
