When building a wheel,what should I prep the spokes with,if at all
I have trued quite some wheels and here in bumfuck netherlands all the spoke nipples are always seized af,a drop of penetrating oil works sometimes but they are still hard to turn.
I have copper anti-seize,various greases,threadlocker,and a unhealthy amount of oils to my disposal.
I have heard concerns about the spoke nipples vibrating loose when using grease/anti seize.
Does this hold true?Do the nipples need to be dry or treated with threadlock?
Most of the wheels I true suffer from massively under tensioned spokes,but these are all cheap,machine trued wheels with no subtance in the threads at all.
Looking forward hearing from you.
All the best,Maurice Moss.
