Default Half radial spoking and the new Dura-Ace wheels

rothgar- Doing it Shimano's way can even out the spoke tensions. BRBR

Not exactly. Building a wheel 1/2 radial left side, 1/2 radial right side, all
radial or all cross, for a true round tensioned and dished wheel, the spoke
tension would be the same in all cases. The ONLY way to 'equalize' spoke
tensions on a rear is to move the spoke holes over(ala OCR rims) or move the
left flange toward the right.

the shimano 7700 wheel is actually pretty close to even tension, on 4 of
the non-drive side spokes at least. it's a function of the funky
left/right crossover spoke design - it maximizes the bracing angle, the
determinant of tension differential.

There is another way to get equal spoke tension with regular hubs and
rims. Build the wheel with no dish and use offset chainstays to
compensate for the rim not being centered with the hub. This was done by
ATP Vision (while they were still in business).

Mostly because the center to flange on the left equals the right.
