Should spokes/nipples have that loud/sudden "PING"?
Sometimes when I true a wheel, I'm turning the spoke wrench and it doesn't seem to really turn, then there's that sudden give and loud PING.
Is that "normal" or should the nipple be turning completely smoothly?
Full disclosure, I've never built a wheel, I kinda suck at/ am not crazy about truing. Most bikes I work on these days are Acera level stuff.
Just a symptom of cheaper bikes that have not had the spoke threads greased/prepped properly?
