spoke tension.
« on: June 19, 2006, 08:52 AM »
re spoked my first wheel yesterday, and it spins pretty true.

how tight should the spokes be though?

being a musician, i have tightened the all to roughly the same tension, so they play the same note when you ping them.

any advice?
I want to touch ORB

I would make them pretty tight. Bare in mind that you will need to re-tension them once it's been ridden.
