Is there a reading comprehension problem here?
What I didn't quote was how he says that < 24 spoke wheels cannot be handbuilt in another conversation. So he's saying it can be done and can't be done in different posts. Which is it? Spoke unloading - does that only work for box section rims or deeper section ones like deep v's?
If it doesn't work for deeper section rims, how do you unload the spoke then?
If you want to be a jerkbag, go right ahead and do it - but answer the question at the same time.
