• Definitely a lesson learned there.

    So if I just correct this dishing and my DS tension is then >4x my NDS tension.... firey death?

    Possibly. If that does happen then you're obviously in a weird kink in time and space where the ordinary rules of physics no longer apply, so it'd be hard to rule anything out!

  • Faff intensifies...

    Decided to follow advice and just dish the wheel. Tried to tighten a drive-side spoke a quarter turn. The alu nipple failed in torsion. Now I can't remove it.

    Two options presented themselves: Loosen all spokes and remove dead nipple, then rebuild. Or cut the spoke and replace. I chose the latter, so have ordered a few replacement spokes.

  • @Brommers You're right, I can't cheat the physics, so I guess as long as the wheel is properly dished then the tension difference will only be 2.33x. The octave pitch difference is also down to differing spoke lengths which I'd forgotten to factor in.
