Just put on the fattest tires I've ever ridden. Panaracer Fattrax 2.2, replacing the no-name 1.95's.
I'm going to use these for the winter as the previous tires are now bald.
Noticed today that quite a few spokes have come loose, have ridden several times since last checking
the wheel. It is pretty much true. Just tighten the loose ones, make sure the wheel is true?
BTW as switching outlooks, Dave was switched to David¹, is now David L.
Keep it real,
Dave

It's a bit more complicated than that. But if spokes are loosening, chances are the wheel's not
built right to begin with. If you can find a good LBS wheelbuilder (or a buddy who knows the craft),
you should get the wheel retensioned so you just ride it instead of working on it.
