I've asked the same question of a professional bicycle mechanic,
regarding bicycle wheels. His response was to true the wheel (make
sure it's round), check the dish (the hub isn't off to the side, is
it?), and if it holds true, the wheel is good. Even on good wheels,
not all spokes will sound alike. I also remember his comment, "It's a
wheel, not a musical instrument." I don't know if this applies to
LBC wire wheels -- why not?
