Have a set of Ksyrium SL3s that I was truing. Unfortunately I'm at a loss with spoke tension. On the Park Website I've seen the Zicral spokes listed under 3.3mm round, but there is also 5.3mm x 1.8mm bladed aluminum that fits with what I have measured. Also what are the recs for spoke tension? I've seen 90-110 (and 100-120) for the front and 130-150 for drive-side rear. What are the recs for non-drive-side rear? Thanks.

Mail order is probably just as fast (OR, faster!) than getting one from your LBS -- JENSON'S used to carry them (maybe, they still do). |

Maybe this will help, but when I build a rear wheel, I tension all of the drive side spokes to near maximum tension. Then I dish the wheel. Then I do all of the lateral and radial truing. Then, as they say, rinse and repeat. Don't obsess about what the non-drive side tension is. My only concern with drive side tension is that there are not any spokes that are grossly different from the norm. I've seen wheels that are perfectly true that had a really loose spoke on the non-drive side. You can usually feel this easily with your fingers. The most important thing when building a rear is to get as near as you can to max tension on the drive side and be very consistant with all drive side spoke tensions. |
