>>1066145>they seem to be identical and I had a problem with the spokes braking while workinf on the radial centring - rim is slightly radially skewed from impact so I forced the spokes to eork on it (it doesnt affect the braking and pads) but its there.Ok, spokes breaking means you're letting them twist. Lube the threads/nipples and pay attention. Don't overtighten, but loosen the opposite side instead. It is impossible to snap a spoke in otherwise good condition from over tightening alone. The soft rim or nipple gives way long before the 1000++ kg spoke does. Either the spokes are dead, of you're twisting them, and possibly both.
If the rim is deformed you tear the wheel down and straighten it first. There are specific tools to pull out flat spots in rims (pic related) but you can always make a redneck rig out of shit at home. The principle is straight forward enough - controlled brutality.
>It came that way, its a 90s road bike, talked to the people from the shop, they said its from impact and cant be retrued.Nonsense but possibly a cover story for 'not worth the effort/expense'. What's said still apply though. Make the wheel round first. If that means make the rim round before even making the wheel, then do that, but make the wheel round before you try to true it - whatever effort that may require.
