Hey all,
My rear is out of true a bit - can you true it - how?

Yes, you can. I recently replaced the Powertap SL in my Alps with a Powertap Pro.
If you take off the tire and rim tape you can tighten the spoke nipples with a 5.5mm thin wall socket. I didn't have a thin wall socket so I made one by grinding down a regular socket.
Yes, you can. And you should have received an Alp specific spoke tool when you got the wheels, I know I did. They are difficult to true due to the low spoke count and therefore large gaps in between. I know my mechanic doesn't like truing them, but does a good job with them.

Yes, you can. But as all real carbon wheels, the carbon is usually not 100% tru. Needs a good mecanic, that don't force the wheel to be 100% - but rather check that the spokes are trued with even pressure.
Correct.
