I'm building some Pacenti Brevet 700 rims onto Novatec hubs, but am having a bit of a problem getting the correct dish/tension on the rear.
Spokes are Sapim Laser (1.5mm Non-drive side), Sapim Race (1.8mm drive side). And the max kgf for the rims is 125.
As per Park's tension meter chart, I should be looking at a max tension of 22–23 on the drive side, and presumably no lower than ~60kgf / 11–12 on the tension meter for the NDS.
Thing is, I still need more dish (1–2mm) but don't want to go any higher on the DS, and the NDS is already too low.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
