Not to mention that before this i never even changed a wheel before, but now i am sort of expert in it. Ok a little joking is not a bad thing.
First, tomorrow i will remove the tape and see what is going on underneath. I will probably send a photo so someone can give me an advice on what to do exactly. I already ordered new tapes so i want everything to be done properly.
Basically, messing up with the spokes means 'truing' the wheel, something i had no idea about till now. In any case i will remove the tape tomorrow and see precisely what is going on under it. It's the first step to solution. Thanks.
Honestly, I doubt you’ll find anything under or in the tape. I’ve had this same problem but I couldn’t find anything that was a problem. It took me a while to figure out what I posted above. Now that I’m using larger tubes, the problem has gone away. Rubber just isn’t as stretchy as it once was.
