Hi
I have a set of Open Pros on Centaur hubs, DT 14-15-14 spokes, brass
nipples. On the rear drive side, spoke tension is a pretty even 100 KgF
(measured with a Park tensiometer) all the way round except one spoke which
has to be backed off to around 60 KgF to avoid a fairly dramatc flat spot.
I've stress-relieved as per the recommended squeeze in pairs method.
I got these wheels second hand, so I can't attest as to the original
condition of the rim. I'm reasonably sure they have been lightly used and
not crashed.
Is this unusual, and will the one loose spoke be likely to cause problems
in the long run? Will swapping to a different length spoke in that one spot
enable me to bring it up to even tension?
Thanks in advance
Mario
