And bear in mind that even with a brand new wheel, some will be tighter than others, so don't expect C sharp from each and every one! The main thing is that none of them go 'thunk', which indicates a very loose spoke or a broken one. You soon get to recognise the sound of a good spoke and a bad one. When I rebuilt my rear wheel recently, I spent ages plinking the spokes to try and get them to 'sound' more even, but it was a waste of time. The wheel was well within tolerances (<1mm runout both ways) and the spokes were still playing The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. :)
Aye, true that.. I didnt have time writing that on my mobile phone while sciving in the tea room at work :thumbup1:

I changed rims I would use 18" for the rear instead of standard 17".
Easier to find different tires I think.
