kev is right, it isn't a torque specification:

Spokes don't just hold the wheel onto the hub. Wheels are "trued" by adjusting spoke length. They keep the wheel round and straight. Truing is kind of an art, but you can usually find an expert at a good bike shop.

I've had my bicycle wheels trued many times. Same thing, just heavier duty. In the old days before "wheels", truing skills were more common.
