Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Morevoer, while greasing the surfaces in the running should be the usual basic behaviour of all wheelbuilders, I never read about flexing the system to relax spokes e solve some twisting. It sounds a good doing which simulates the work of the wheel on road. But: once the spoke relaxes from his previous twisting, you have to face a new turn of truing and you are back to the start.

How about clamping spokes (as for bladed spokes)? And with what?
I spin the wheel to quickly put the reference mark on the spokes with the dry marker.
