A good indication of maximum tension is when even a 1/8 of a turn has a drastic effect on lateral trueness. The wheel will come out of true in a large wave, usually about 1/3 of the rim centered on the spoke you currently tensioning. I get to that point, and then finish trueing by backing off a bit of tension instead of adding.Pau11y said:

mine were radial laced and since I relaced it 3x, it seems a lot more "confidence inspiring." The radials seemed to flex laterally whereas the 3x is stiff as all get out...LordOpie said:

I'm so excited for my road bike that I'm building, hopefully going to be setup in a week or so!
They're like some sort of shock dampening elastomer inserts for carbon parts. Specialized used it in their Pavé seatposts and I've heard some pretty good results w/ it. I wanted to get one, but I don't fly enough seatpost from the frame for one to fit. I can see the benefit of it in carbon seat stays and fork. They should also look into putting it into carbon monocogue (spelling?) stems.ito said:What is "zerts"?
Nice bike, but lose the triple man

Yes - but I build bikes at night and on the weekends to trade for parts.chicodude01 said:
