I have a disk drive pro. Have owned it from new, it was pat of a pretty large batch of pre-built Disc Drives at a shop I worked in. Had a few from that batch, one I trashed riding through a winter. One or two were 'sold on' for pocket money. One was kept. I finally used it 3 years ago, sadly first proper ride out it came totally loose. So it sat in a wheel bag for quite a while waiting for some love. That time was last night. Got it in the jig and pulled it straight. Something always bugged me with the build, the valve hole was one spoke away from where it should've been meaning a valve extender was always needed. As I started working on the wheel noted the nipples didn't sit very well. With the final spin in the jog it occured to me what the issue was, the wheel was built wrongly, that is the spoke holes offset for drive side had the non drive nipples in and vice versa. Damn. So in 15 minutes of fury the wheel came apart, 23:30 at night is the ideal time to start such jobs.
Wheel is back together now, although I lost a nipple I managed to find a spare. The spare was in the box in the loft, who'd have thought it!!
