• Makes sense, thanks! Looks like an interesting read, I'll get on that after asking my last question for now. :)

    DT Comp or Sapim Race? It'll cost the same (although I'd have 16 spares of the Comps and none of the Sapim's) and weigh approximately the same, anything else to compare them by? Googling doesn't help either, all I found out is that they both do an adequate job at connecting a rim to a hub.

    And I figured I'd just get started and see where I can't go any further. I reckon I should get up until the final truing because I don't have a tensiometer. Using my front fork and a piece of card board to center should be fine from what I gathered.

  • Comparative tension is easy to judge acoustically, absolute tension can be gauged that way too as long as you know what note to listen for. With undished 32 spoke wheels there's a pretty wide range between too tight and too loose for most people anyway.
