    It’s always easier to straighten by loosening than by tightening…So…..
    Spin the wheel and find the wobble with a felt tip marker.
    Loosen the spokes in that area by 1/2 turn.
    Then starting at the tube stem hole, tighten all spokes 1/4 turn.
    Then tap all spokes with a very small mallet.
    Repeat as needed.

    Also, first you take out the radial run out.
    Then take out the lateral run out.

    Unless you have a bent rim, you should be able to get the run out
    down to 1/16″ without ANY tight spokes..
