I was going to say v brake but I am sure to get neg props for clearly believing the foolish statement I would have just made. In all seriousness I think British mild sarcasm might get culturally lost in translation. (I really don't mean that in a bad way either )

It is when folk turn thier spokes the wrong way and make them worse!

A good squeeze on pairs of spokes works well. The handle of a screwdriver pushed firmly into where the spoke crosses is good for a detention too. A little copperslip (copper grease) on spoke threads is good for ally nipples as it has quite low "sticktion" and doesn't degrade. Helps prevent any long term bi metallic corrosion

I personally was surprised Lacondeguy didn't place for me he had more going on in his run than most other riders. Aside from the obvious huge sender trick (which was amazing) I didn't see much else in Zinks runs (prepare for neg props :))

Still got a little black and decker one for just that purpose.

Once you have trued a wheel or two its not that tricky. The real art was back when rim brakes where more common you had to be spot on not just left or right and up and down. anyone who has built wheels will know getting it not to wobble is the easy bit, its getting the tension just right for vertical alignment that is tricky. Thats when you really appreciate a good rim to start with. (and the right size spokes (for any builders out there who have accidentally mixed up their spoke sizes in a drawer))
