Default Re: Tighten the 21" rims straight

Guten Abend and many thanks to everyone for the many answers and tips!

Right, two problems are written in one post, that's not perfect. Let me try.

Curved spoked wheel: Centering the wheels is apparently not easy. Shortening the spokes is easy. Stretching with a glowtorch is tricky. I will first try cold bending the spokes.

Cure the imbalance with magic pearls: It reads like a fairy tale that is too beautiful. I can't understand how this is supposed to work physically. But I don't want to doubt those writers who have had success here either, that would be impolite. Therefore I'll try to understand this super-pearl secret.
