Ta all. Wheels built using science. Recorded all readings using a park tm-1 in their nice online app

Worked my way bringing the numbers closer and closer together until variance was below 5%. Then did a few little tweeks and end ratio isn't far off the calc above.
I think my tm-1 tools absolute readings are a little high though, corroborated by its prediction that my factory built heds have DS tensions around 160kgf. Otherwise fingers crossed my spokes to pull through...
