Even worse when you do it. It sucks. Backing off often doesn't fix the potato chip. You often have to back way, way off. It is like starting over again. And then you still don't know where to stop. If you can manage it (buy, beg, borrow), the tensiometer is the way to go. Take the tension up to about 105 kgF for a front or the DS of a rear to 120. Then leave the NDS where it falls when the rim is centered. Best plan.
