Not boost, sorryCool! Can I have them?

He thinks the Halter's challenge is 10hrs. a day for 31 days so he's riding!Trust me, I'm not a wheel builder.
The front with no dish is easy peasy.
Now where is the master... Vreeland?
Going to find out whether the rear wheel is harder to build

Easy peezy, now I want to build a 4x set for the dirt jumper and 2x for the gravel bike. And maybe radial for the road bike. No one told me this could be addictive. Already pricing out fancy hubz....

haha, used the plucking technique, my next purchase will be a tension meter...Nice. How did you check tension?
is Sourlands a good place to try out wheels?Do some rides on this set and make sure they don't blow up before trying more!
Other than using the key of G from a tuner, what are your thoughts on this or should I just get a Park TM-1Nice. How did you check tension?

I used my kid's viola tuner for that reason, I have no sense of pitch with out some help.I was terrible at trying to tension via sound.
I have the TM-1. Although it is decidedly low tech compared to other meters, you can send it back for recalibration if needed. Not sure if you can calibrate the digital one on your own.

Yeah, that was the problem. Sloppy spokes after a few rides. Even from some well known builders.Just asking for a friend
How many times did you destress before you said ok? Bringing up to first tension and a ok is how Stans used to build wheels only to turn into a sloppy mess a month later.

I spend the time and do a number of the destressing techniques when I get close to tension - lay it on the floor and push on the rim with both hands going around, squeezing the parallel spokes and wrapping the crossing spokes. Also tap on all the spoke heads to set them.
I get the most pinging from pushing on the rim but that's usually the first one I do.
I think that has been key to not having wheels go out of true right out of the gate. I've rarely gone back to re-true wheels, although I guess I should check.
