They did indeed. I just did some re-trueing, ride around the block, retrue etc. (I have never built a wheel that stayed true first time around) Apart from the Sapim Lasers twisting, I had fairly uneven spoke tension all around both wheels. I also did most corrections by lowering, not increasing tension; much better. I think I was approaching max tension for the rim, because it was not behaving predictably anymore.

Wow. That really tempts me to ditch my steel Bareknuckle frameset for a lighter Alu frame and carbon fork.

I'm digging the Wabi Cycles scandium frameset featured on fgg, you should consider it!

And the carbon fork on my bike isn't even a superlight version. I'm thinking Look Keo pedals, lighter seat and stem. Including the lightweight tubes and veloplugs coming soon, I should be able to go sub 16 lbs.

Hey, can I get a little more info on that Fort frame? Their website doesn't seem to have a track frame, and I like the look of it.
