I'm not an uber clyde and have had this problem several times on all models. It's ez but shop guys avoid the WORK. I think they are actually scrared to do it, unsure of their sklills.
Agree with Beanz on this one: having a competent wheel builder true the wheel and
correctly set the spoke tension may go a
long way toward fixing the problems! Are the shop guys checking the tension on each spoke using something like a Park TM-1? How much does the tension vary from spoke to spoke?
