I'm stuck at truing.

I think I'm going to take it in. For the amount of headache this has caused me, the amount of time I've spent on it- to do it properly I need new spokes (I was reusing spokes, more or less because I was sort of playing around to see if I could do it), so for the money- I called a shop- it's worth the $110 for a wheel build, spokes and nipples, rather than the $20 to look at it and whatever needs to be done to un-**** it.

I'm doing this wrong, and I've kind of lost confidence in myself and what I think I know.
Wheels are brutal to build. I feel ya.


That's all I got.
