I'm building a front wheel and have both sides more or less equal tension and laterally true as
well. However I notice that the wheel is not perfectly round. To correct for roundness, I have to
tighten some spokes in a few spots higher increasing the tension in those spokes. I'm not talking
about huge differences but it does go from a reading of 60-65 to about 70 on my tensiometer.
So what's more preferable? Perfectly round wheel or a evenly tensioned wheel? I'm unlikely to detect
a non-perfectly round wheel. Would an evenly tensioned wheel in this case be more desirable since it
equals a stronger wheel?
