Spokes'n'tightness

[Tsiklonaut]

Just tryed to hit the spokes slightly with screwdriver and compare the sound they make.

It seems to me that few spokes are differently tightnened compared to others, not very much, but there's difference. Both front and rear rim had few of them that made higher (overtightened) or lower (undertightened) sound.

Anyone is this a real problem? Should i let them get checked by wheel-specialist?

Though, i really don't know if cross-spoke wheel specialist even exist in Estonia

Thanks in advance, Margus

well.

I am not a wheel specialist but in my experience if they are not loose then leave em alone. I have watched spoked wheels being built and it is an art form. Achieving trueness by differing amounts of tension and knowing which spoke affects which direction comes from years of experience.

I have like lots of people replaced the odd single spoke and used a spare spoke as a tuning fork to get a similar pitch to the other spokes. Replacing one or two spokes like this IMO is ok but if your wheels out of true with lots of loose and or tight spokes then I reccomend going to a proffessional.

Cheers Bro.
