Following a little accident last week leaving me with a sprained ankle, my rear wheel got kicked a bit, one broken spoke on non drive side, touching brake pads, etc...
I changed the spoke, did some trueing, and all is back in place.
Dishing was a little off on that wheel to start with so I dealt with that at the same occasion.
Now the wheel has a fairly even tension throughout all spokes, but double checking the park tools app, looked like I'm a bit above 120kgf where internet says open pros should only be up to 110... (pain gauge 2mm spokes)
Should I bother trying to reduce tension, is rim going to crack if I leave it like this? It's a 32 holes wheelset, I'm over 90kg, plus a heavy ish saddle bag (commuting bike)
Thanks
