Last week I ordered a set of Ksyrium SSC SLs from TotalCycling. They're now being held by US Customs at JFK, but that's another story (something nefarious we don't know about French wheelsets?)
There's some good advice in previous posts about truing and stress relieving Ksyriums before riding, hopefully to avoid becoming another cracked rim horror story.
I've built several sets of wheels using Open Pros, butted DT spokes and 3-cross. But does anyone know whether the stress-relief and truing process is different given the Ksyriums' radial spoking pattern and bladed spokes?
Also, does anyone know Mavic's recommended max spoke tensions for the 04 SSC SLs?
The Mavic metal spoke wrench is now available on-line, BTW.
Many thanks.
