i just came from mountain biking so i know how to true wheels...but the spokes on the rear wheel of my bike are loose and some seem to be seized or something?....i tightened some of them, but a bunch of them wont tighten at all...i go to turn them and the just spring back? i think its about 7 or 8 of them that are seized

I've had goo luck heating up the siezed spokes with the blow torch. O course the tire is removed from the rim when doing this. You may need to use a couple sets of vise grips as well. One set on the nipple and one set on the spoke. This will break them loose.
