Wheel building and trueing is an art. It's not just a matter of tightening or replacing a spoke(s). I agree with BMW on this. If you have spoked wheel problems, take it to a wheelbuilder or your garage to get it repaired - it's too delicate a job to just blindly do yourself, imo. Tightening one spoke may overtighten/loosen another. or pull the wheel out of 'true'.

Here in the UK, courses are occasionally offered by wheelbuilders, in how to do the job. Seems a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas to me! Smile
