Wheel buildin Q: 15g with spacer?
Hello, THanks for replies on my last question on spoke lacing. have another question on 15g spokes:
Do people use spacer for 15g spoke? I just build up a 32h front, radial with wheelsmith 15g db spokes. The front hub has the normal 2.5 hub hole diam. I wonder if I better off by adding the spacer? Is spacer a must for 15g? is this something I can get away with for long? Should I just up the tension a bit more? Front wheel is for 140# rider. Rim is Sun mistral box clincher road rim 32h. Also, one more question, what is the recommended tension for front wheel? rear wheel drv side? I've the tensiometer. I was told it should be somewhere around 100 (I forgot the unit!) for rear drv side. Also, from the previous thread, Mr. Colina suggest the race lace spoking on the rear wheel. I'm itching to try it out. Any additional suggestion/advice before I dive in and get one build? Thanks to all for your help. Kwan PS: getting close to building my 10th wheel. |

Wheelsmith's Spoke Tension guage comes with a calibration chart for their spokes. You might need to interpolate or extrapolate for the spokes you are using.

Clip:I agree with Peter. You will be best served by spending your time with proper tensioning, tension balancing, spoke alignment, and stress relieving. I suggest investing the time reading Jobst Brandt's book "the Bicycle Wheel".
