[QUOTE="Phil Mahood, post: 8567, member: 71"] P.K., Thanks for the thoughts. They correspond with my suspicions. It was my thought that the nipples themselves were undoing because of the copper compound. I've always been told that anti-seize was advisable on like metals. I've had to cut many wheels apart where the threads had galled. But, on this forum, there is another thread where anti-seize was recommended for like metals in a wheel build. It's been my experience thatl the wheels I've built stayed true, as they should. The only difference this time is the use of a copper compound. Anyway, don't worry. We're not going to be taking any chances with safety. We'll just redo the job without the compound. If someone, some day needs to cut some spokes, so be it. Cheers, and thanks for the suggestion.
