I'm having trouble keeping spoke tension on my Stans Flows. I've been on the wheels for about a year and, even though Spoke Prep was used in the build, the rear wheel in particular loosens up significantly every few rides.
Spoke tension is a much talked about issue with non-eyeleted rims and, in my own experience, eyeleted rims have always stayed drum tight. Did I just get a bad build in this case, which can only be remedied by rebuilding the wheel or do I need to go to an eyeleted rim that will keep/tolerate higher tension? Any recs? I know a lot of people here have had success with Flows and want to hear the secret to keeping them tight and true. Thanks.
