So I've just trued the stock wheels on my Fuji track (first attempt at truing), the wheels are now nice and true but the spoke tension has gone up slightly. I estimate it was around 75 Kgf originally on both wheels, and I now have 104 Kgf average on the front and 95 Kgf average on the rear. Bike rides very well, but obviously I don't want the rims to start cracking or anything.
Does this 95-105 Kgf range sound reasonable? Rims are Jalco DRX 2000 Double Wall (Stainless single eyelet) - 470g.
I've emailed Maddux who make the rims but no reply...
