I've been using Odyssey spokes for years now, but when I built my new back wheel recently all my local bike shop had in the right size were Primo and Proper ones, I knew how much the Primo ones tend to stretch out so I picked the Proper. I shouldn't have because they're proper shit. Poor quality spokes and going from 48h to 36h has made me need to fiddle with it far more than I'd like.

Bummer, now for your next set you can appreciate a high quality spoke.

Nah, Replaced my chain couple days after I threw it on

Unless the spindle is bent, gonna try switching it around to see if it makes a difference.
Other then that I have no clue, no indication that anything is bent enough to cause this much variation.

Took my entire bike apart to spray paint it, and after lightly sanding the paint I decided I didn't want to paint it anymore. Now it's a flat red which doesn't look too bad. Bought a Cult headset, fixed my chain line and cleaned my driver out.

Put a second set of springs under every pawl in my Profile hub to try and stop it from skipping. So far it seems to be working...

Man, how do these hubs continue to sell so well?

With enough lube and brute force, anything is possible.
