grawistkafn said:Yet another spoke thread from me. Well, my wheel is pretty true (maybe
1-3mm off), but I have noticed that some of the spokes are looser than
others. Is this normal? Is it OK?
Ideally, the spokes should be equal in tension. In practice, it's
often not possible to keep the wheel true while also keeping the spoke
tension perfectly balanced. Your wheel will definitely be more
reliable for a longer period of time if the spoke tensions are close.
Identify the loose spokes, and tighten them on alternating sides of the
wheel so the tension gets more balanced without throwing the trueness
off much.
