• @mdcc_tester,
    thanks for all the help so far
    so ive rebuilt the Archetype rim with sapim race spokes radially with a reading off 25 on the parks tension meter (sorry dont have a conversion chart). wheel never pinged on its first ride until at 45 miles i went over a cattle grid at high speed and it pinged like a symphonic orchestra, do i still need more tension? (written on the cans of stella)

    Sounds like the spokes were wound up, and released the first time they hit a decent bump. Properly built wheels shouldn't make noises.
