Me again, can someone ( @mdcc_tester ?)tell me if I'm correct in the following:
Trying to determine what the theoretical tension balance between DS and NDS spokes should be on a dished rear wheel:
Hub dimensions are:
Driveside PCD 50.6mm
Non-Driveside PCD 38.5mm
NDS Flange-to-Center 37.8mm
DS Flange-to-Center 16.2mm
Sketched that up with an ERD of 596mm (see attached pic) and I get the angles of the spokes to the verticals to be:
DS 3.39deg
NDS 7.71deg
Resolving horizontal tension on NDS spokes, T_nds = sin(3.39)/sin(7.71) * T_ds
T_nds = 0.44 * T_ds
Is that correct? So if I were to get my DS spokes to 120kgf and NDS to 53kgf I should have a perfectly dished wheel.
