• I don't understand why if you calculated spoke length based on flip-flop, your DS spokes are too long. If anything, I'd expect your NDS spokes to be too short.
    No harm in trying to re-dish the wheel, but you may run out of adjustment space on the spoke threads.

  • ah, you may be right - either way rim is naturally dished to the NDS - could well be because NDS are too short rather than DS too long
    is is purely a question of adjustment space on the spoke threads? what about relative tension between DS and NDS?

  • what about relative tension between DS and NDS?

    Trigonometry says the tension ratio is fixed by the dish and there's fuck all you can do about it, so it's not worth worrying about. If you were making a huge change to the dish and the wheel was already close to being badly designed, you could push it over the edge, but if we're just talking about changing from a double-sided track hub to a single-sided one, we're not in that territory.
