Wheels tuning

I have a pair of Mavic Ksyrium (road) wheels.

Which is the "right" interval for wheels tuning ?
They have an interval time for re-tension spokes ?

Thank's... 🙂
Ciao Matteo

There is no "right" interval for wheel truing. If they are built right and meet the rider weight and application(s) they will stay true. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line & wheels built/selected correctly won't have nipples "backing off" due to spoke wind-up or spokes going slack.
As per above, spokes don't need to be re-tensioned as they don't continue to stretch past the original amount from static tensioning.
If a rim is bent, spokes will need to be slackened, then the rim can be straightened, and then the spokes will need re-tensioned. Some bent rims are better to be replaced.

No, i am not going to bag my fellow Perth residents in this post 😎

OK I did read in one publication that once you get your spokes tensioned nicely, you should put a drop of araldite or other glue on the nipple, so it don't move at all. never done that meself, though.
Also wheel truing is not too hard but is a damned boring and laborious job, and if spoke tension is done correctly, you shouldn't need any tuning for a while...

This is only anecdotal, but the guys at my local shop say that Ksyriums are a [censored] to work on, compared to 'normal' wheels, and they're best not worked on by part-timers.....like me 🙂
