  1. As Ray mentions, worth getting (both) wheels rebuilt with quality (DT or
    other) spokes.

    If its happening at the hub end, it may also be poor fit into the hole-
    face of the hub. I used to do one a month on a crappy STX-RC rear on my
    mtb commuter

    The pulling off from the ights scenario is probably due to the
    'torqueing windup' that occurs due to the power transfer from the drive-
    side of the hub to the non-drive side. the non-drive side 'catches' up
    and gets twisted placing huge forces on hub/spokes (this is all
    incremental, mind). Is there any consistency of spoke location/side?

    Love to see a 'wheel-building-machine'! Have images of 'Go-Gadget'
    contraption with telescopic arms flying all over the place 😄
