Following my recent spoke accident with Ludwig, I tried to get my back wheel more or less straight using the dedicated tool that came with the wheels (shimano).
I know quite a few TCC'ers understand the art of true-ing wheels and decided to give it a try myself. The tool fitted the nipple nicely but when I started to tighten/turn, the entire spoke (the flat "aero" type - not the round) turns along and ends up completely warped...
What am I doing wrong? Am I turning the nipple too much ?
