• On a different note, I'm building some new wheels for my ti road bike. The front has a Tune Mig 45 hub, so it's got a limit of 1000N spoke tension, and it's using an AForce AL33 rim with straight pull CX-Ray spokes. I built it to 100kg spoke tension (or thereabouts - I'm only using a TM1 for tension) but when I mounted the tubeless tyre (Schwalbe Pro One 23c) and took it up to 100psi the spoke tension dropped to a TM-1 indicated 75kg, which seems a bit low. So, do I:

    1. Leave it as it is and ride it
    2. Retension it with the tyre inflated to 100kg spoke tension
    3. Retension it with the tyre inflated to something else, and if so what?
  • Leave as is. Never received tension after tyre fitting. Your static tension needs to account for the tyre you are using that's why the tubeless wheels I build with kinlin rims have nipple washers as I over tension the rear a bit so there is decent tension with a tubeless tyre and if a clincher is used the rim can hold the tension with washers without issue.
