Wheels are basically done. Rear needs final tensioning and truing which I am wondering if anyone has opinions about (I'm sure someone does!). I brought the front disc side spokes up to 110 kgf per my Park TM-1 chart which yielded a disc side of ~90 kgf. I have the rear drive side currently at 100 kgf which yields a NDS of ~64 kgf. At best I guess I'll see 70 kgf NDS with a DS of 110 kgf. That isn't terribly confidence inspiring (nor is it godawful, though) but I'm a little hesitant to up the drive side to 120 kgf. What would the other amateur (or pro) wheel builders do here?
