You need to loosen the spokes at the top of the egg. And tighten the spokes at the bottom of the egg! In simple terms. Until it brings the hub into the middle of the rim. It sounds like yours is just off centre. All though some rims do go ovalized through use and can be a right bu99er to true up.  :daumenhoch:
