Opening the brakes used to be enough when we rode 32 o 36 spokes and narrow tires. Nowadays with low-spoke-count wheels and wider rims and tires, I guess fooling with the spokes is also required. That is something you might want to practice. Not just loosening the adjacent spokes, but also tightening the opposite spokes.
