OK before I start this is related to my roadie so please excuse me. I feel people here have much better knowledge than Roadbikereview on wheels.
Here is the story. I have a set of Hugi 240 wheels with Mavic CXP33 using Revos 32 spokes 3 cross for my road bike. I built these when I knew little about wheels other than 32 spokes 3 cross…… think MTB.
The rear hub is the original Hugi 240 that uses a shorter spacer on the NDS to achieve a 130mm spacing. The result is that the spoke tension difference between the DS and NDS is huge. While they have done around 16000km in 18months without any real issues, I have found that they are not the stiffest of wheels because of the lack of tension on the NDS. Moreover because of the lack of tension the spoke tend to ping a little while riding. (Hugi has actually introduced a Hugi 240 Road with difference dimension to reduce the difference in tension).
I am wondering if I could say put 2 cross on the NDS to increase the spoke tension on the NDS to make a stiffer rear wheel while staying with Revos on both sides.
Will this work?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Wayne
