    A big ask, but does anyone know if one of the bike shops in Dublin stock DT Swiss Spoke Freeze? Failing that, a good online source (that doesn't charge €10 a shipping for 2x10ml : Parker and Actionsports)

    Its very hard stuff to get some times even madison(the main dt swiss distributor) in the uk rarely have it in stock! I used to use it alot but have now changed to using linseed oil for builds and find it great,you can get dt swiss pro lock nipples fairly handy online but they are aluminium which I dont like.

    Have you ever tried loctite 222? It's much easier to get and seems not to be too strong. Quite a few seem to use it. I don't think it's viscous enough to be ideal but it should still do if I had to use something.
    The only reason I'm looking for this is that the NDS/DS tension is around 44% which is making me consider it for the NDS spokes.

    It should be about 60% depending on the wheel,what wheel is it and is it new or old?

    your probably doing it already but just incase you dont, when you tension the spoke go half a turn back to relieve the twist on the spoke espically with round spokes, im having a look around now to see if i can find a bottle for you will have it at the league race

    It's a new build. It's as expected based on the choice of hub + cross pattern (2x both sides) 
    N, total number of spokes	24
ERD, effective rim diameter	586.0
OSB, offset spoke bed	0.0
WL, width from center to left flange	38.0
WR, width from center to right flange	16.5
dL, left flange diameter	38.0
dR, right flange diameter	49.0
S, spoke hole diameter	2.7
