Found a couple of loose spokes on my Roval Control carbons yesterday, put a bit of tension into them before a ride.
Last night decided to go over the rear with the tension meter. Several nipples would not turn independent of the spoke (straight pulls), can hear little tinking noises inside the rim ... I don't even have to take the rim tape off now to know what has happened ! Might be time for a rebuild with brass nipples. I just hope that the spokes are salvageable.
