A customer brings in a set of wheels with a few miles on them, he built the wheels himself but now he can't true them. The nipples just won't turn. Some of the alum nipples are rounded off. He used loctight 271 as a spoke prep.... I hated telling him the only way to true his wheel was to cut the spokes and start all over. It was his first set of wheels to.
