What lube did you use on the spokes? Did you use shims or lube the nipple holes?I'm going to say something really fucking stupid. I've never dinged or scratched or hurt a rim since ~1999.
Sapim lasers (2.0 -1.5 - 2.0 ) are indeed really fucking hard to build with, windup is an issue. Ping Ping!!
5wt fork oil with graphite on threads and nipples and the Sapim washers.What lube did you use on the spokes? Did you use shims or lube the nipple holes?

I've mentioned to you before to use light grease, de stress the wheel a few times as you build and the flat washers are the best.5wt fork oil with graphite on threads and nipples and the Sapim washers.
I have used grease in the past, not much difference during initial build stage I don't think, but I don't build many wheels. Will try on the next build and compare, one grease, one 5wt and graphite. What grease do you use? Light bicycle on hope pro4 and lasers again.I've mentioned to you before to use light grease, de stress the wheel a few times as you build and the flat washers are the best.
I use silver anti seize or some fishing reel grease which I'm pretty sure was a light moly grease. The proper nipple washers are like hardened shims, I find I get less jerkiness as I get up to the final tensions.I have used grease in the past, not much difference during initial build stage I don't think, but I don't build many wheels.

I'm concerned a flat washer can't take the load and will distort, resulting in lost spoke tension?
Destressed all the way along, you just have to with 1.5mm spokes.
North of 100kgf (wtf we can't just call this 980N is beyond me) my fingers cannot grip spokes. Think I'll build a little vice grip with delrin pads.
I might try a 3% moly grease next time.
Wow 29mm ID rims make nobby nic 2.35" blow up big.
When you want the tyre off the complete crap SRAM roam 40 wheel (busted three piece hub, straight pull spokes , 19mm ID) and the tyres a mofo of a tight fit, you jump on the wheel.
The hulk wouldn't have tears in his eyes when he stubs his thumb with a tyre lever so badly it bleeds under the nail. I was pissed!
