All,
I have attached a GREAT article on spoke wheels from Motorcycle Consumer News, published in January 2006 titled 'Spoke Wheel Building & Truing'
It will help you understand what you are doing when you are tweaking those nipples (spoke nipples that is > ).
Read it and understand it, before you muck with your spoke wheels.
Here is the direct link to the list of Technical Articles (the spoke article is in 5 parts on the site)
http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/technical.asp
Hope this will help.

P.S. I have a single .pdf of the 5 pages but it is to large to post here (1Mb)
