The first wheel was a bit under tensioner so I borrowed a tensionmeter from the lbs and tweaked them up a bit.
However, I was brought down to earth with a bump on the second wheel. The spokes seemed ridiculously too long because...they were.
The shop had calculated for two 32h wheels but the rear is 36h. I sat and found a couple of online calculators and got a length of 287.6 so I got a box of 288's. I also borrowed the spoke tensionmeter again so i'll lace it up this weekend...
