Might not work very well since the ends of the spoke won't be held in
position like they would when assembled in a wheel. The wheel keeps the
ends aligned and parallel.

I'll pin one end and use the Shimano rim piece to float the other end.
That should
align the forces properly.

I figure if I put 100, 200, 300, ..., 800 N of tension on the spoke and
measure the
Tensio deflection each time, that should give me a pretty good graph.

Easy as this is, I wonder why a tensiometer manufacturer would not
perform these tests
themselves, for goodness sake. There oughta be a website...

Cheers!
