Subject: Loose Spoke
I have a pair of kind-of-junk wheels that I train on. Whenever I ride,
one spoke (the same one) rattles loose. I noticed that there was no
spoke prep on the threads, so I put some on there; didn't solve the
problem. Any ideas? I'm afraid to put loctite on because it might
leave the wheel un-truable.

Sounds like you have a flat spot on the rim at that spot.
