  1. Building my 1st set of wheels.
    Anyone know what spoke tension should be for Mavic Open Pro with
    Wheelsmith 2.0/1.7 butted spokes and Ultegra hubs. I have a Park
    tensiometer.

    Thanks

  2. For 15/14 gauge double-butted spokes I normally shoot for 90 kgf on the
    front wheel and 110 kgf on rear (drive side). The rear non-drive side
    will be a lot less; just get the drive side right and accept whatever
    you get on the non-drive side.

    My Wheelsmith tensiometer came with a little manual that has
    recommended tensions in it. Was there no documentation with the Park?

  3. Nothing included with the Park. I looked in Barnetts, their
    recommendation IIRC was 80kgf-120kgf depending on the rim. I build all
    of mine at 100kgf Front, 100kgf rear driveside and as tight as I can
    get the non-drive with out jacking up the dish. So far I've had good
    results.

    100 kgf for the right side of the rear and front.
