    Hello

    After truing one of my friends wheel succesfully, just a slight wobble, i got a little excited, and tried to true my own wheels, i basically thighten all the nibbles, around the rim at both sides, feeling with my fingers if the spokes could be tighten a bit more, and i was paying attention i did not overturn the nibbles. the rim was still straight and nice round, but when i stood up, and looked down, at my fork, the wheel was a bit off to the right !!!
    So now i dont feel so pro anymore !
    What do i do??

    Its now a little out of dish.
    If you wnat it to move to the right, slacken the left hand spokes a 1/4 turn and tighten the right hand ones a 1/4.
    Repeat until its right.

    Or

    don’t mess with ye black arts, it be witch craft i tell ye!

    Jeb; sorry – I wasn’t being nasty, and your English is way better than my Danish!

    Wheelbuilding is very satisfying, and I can recommend the following PDF: http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

    Best of luck!

    Those DANISH looks killer cholestrol supreme, actually they look better than what my local socalled bake-off baker can produce.
    Ok . over-ruled.
