Wow. Really smart. Although I still like my Park spoke wrench a
lot--nice fit in the hand.
Please follow Kington99's advice, and start with small adjustments. Be
sure to mark the first spoke you tighten (best to start with a spoke
next to the valve), so you know when you've made it all the way around.
If you're tightening the same amount on each spoke, you won't mess up
your wheel's true; a little off, though, and you can get things in a
mess quickly. Remember, you don't want it really tight--a wheel isn't
meant to be completely rigid; if it's too rigid, it will break instead
of flexing.
Working with wheel tension and truing is a kind of zen thing--patience
is a definite virtue.
