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: [url= http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php ]http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php[/url]

Best of luck!
