Look for 2 mm brass washers.

Spoke tension is determined by how far the hub flanges are offset by the wheel center, not spoke length.
Note how the DS spokes of a wheel with multiple cogs are in a more vertical plane than the spokes the NDS.
Now look at a single speed. Pretty much symmetrical like a "conventional" front. Spokes will have equal/very similar tension to each other.
