rear wheel spoke tension

I built a rear wheel. The rim manufacturer specifies 1200N maximum spoke
tension. I tigtened up the drive side spokes to that much, and the
tension on the non-drive side is less to account for wheel dish.

Did I do it right? Or is the 1200N force supposed to be average between
the drive and non-drive sides?

Hub: Shimano FH-1055
Rim: DT TK540 36h
Spokes: DT Competition 2.0/1.8/2.0, 3-cross
Deflection mesured with Park tool: 21-22 (right), 17-18 (left)

Lang may your lum reek.

there's a dishing tool ?

loosen left while continuing lateral true, tighten rights pulling wheel to drive side then pull back and ad nauseum

see where your patience level lies

imagine and draw a bridge way supported with angled steel pillars..as with your dish.

given the two side support angles, are stresses within supports different ? and are the above bridge way weights different each side ?

Yes, the specified tension is for right side rear.

A low tension on the non-drive side, especially with heavy load, can cause 0 tension and breaking of these spoke. Half radial can be a solution.

.... too much thinking ?...no prob...go to the helmet thread.

No meter here. Dish and tighten until the rim suffers from my clumsiness by not truing but rippling like ribbon candy...


then back off a bit, retrue and ride.

Does that work with CF rims?

CF ? ??? prob not....actually first time I've thought abt CF rims. Long time knew a retiree with first generation composite 'wheels'...he had the only set around...enjoyed the cushy ride.

steel rims from ?? 1985 or earlier are easier trueing than Sun rims esp double wall touring rims which is what I'm riding on.

entertaining blog search...trueing/building wheels with CF rims...what's Andrew charging for CF wheel rehabs ?
