• I think you reduce the tension on all the spokes and as one side is higher tension than the other they reduce by either the same percentage but different amounts or the same amounts but different percentages (I reckon the first) so there might be a slight movement to the side, but it shouldn't be enough to worry about, or maybe I'm making that up.

  • I took an empirical approach to this. I've just built up a wheel (700c, Mavic A119 rim - 36H, 20mm internal, laced 3-cross with double-butted alpina spokes). Without the tyre the dish was possibly off by 0.5mm to the NDS, with the tyre (32mm, tubed @80psi) it was pretty central.

    So there might be an infinitesmal shift to the drive side.
