    I got my Koxx1 140mm cranks and hub on the weekend and took my old rim
    apart and re-laced it to the koxx hub. It was much easier than I had
    expected and I followed Sheldon (Wheels) Browns tutorial. I will post
    pictures later. I am sure that this isn't really exciting to most
    people, but I did save myself about $40.00 in shop labor, so that
    rocks.

    I just used a screwdriver and a spoke wrench. Once you get the rim strip
    off, you can unscrew all the nipple with a flat head screwdriver.

    I need to tighten the spokes on my 28" unicycle.

    I wouldnt imagine that trueing a wheel would be as difficult as lacing
    one. Do I just tighten the spokes that feel loose?

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

    not that simple, but if the rim is bent a little to the right you would
    tighten the spokes on the left a quarter turn just where its bent
    though. thats a very very breif tutorial

    it's when you take the rim and put spokes and a hub on it.

    Go to the Articles section or just google sheldon brown. The article
    that I used goes into great detail on trueing. AND NO, lacing is not
    good grammar, it should be wheel building, I just expected everyone
    here to know what I was talking about.
