Ones eyes and fingers can pick up on very fine dimensions if you focus and practice. As example placing a finger on the spoke when you turn the nipple. You can feel the point where the spoke's wind up stops and thus when the truing (spoke length change) starts. If you paid attention you can then turn back the nipple to the point where the spoke is under no rotational tension. This reduces the amount of touch up truing after destressing the wheel. Andy
