Then I check tension, find some are way over and some are way under, so I unscrew back to where I can see a single thread and start over. Well, then I take a day or two off because I'm ticked off. Or currently, I've got it true, but I know that I'm not going to be happy with the tension because I can see a thread on one of the spokes and that means starting over, again. I guess I just suck at truing. It seems like tightening one spoke a quarter turn while loosening the neighboring spokes each a quarter turn shouldn't be rocket science, but apparently it is because I suck at it. Didn't have this problem with my last build (using Sapim Race instead of Laser), so I'm blaming it on wind up with thinner spokes, but I just suck at it.
