A spoke came completely loose today on cycle in to work. I just stripped off the tyre, tube and tape (nothing exciting there) and reattached the loose spoke with my new spoke key. Go me. Then worked out by plucking the spokes that the tension between them was all fubar'd, so have made them all equals, by sound anyway.
Question: I'm happy the tension is now equal-ish between all the spokes, how I know the tension I the initial spoke I chose was right in the first place?
