Hi guys,
First of all, happy New year to all of you! May 2010 be a year of peace, happyness and safe riding.
Like a lot of us, I have plenty of time to spend on this website(there is about a meter of snow outside). I bought a wheelset from crc in november(hope II/mavic 823) and have the impression that the spoke tension is too high. I am reading that the maximum tension for these rim should be 90 Kgf. Right now, The spoke are really really stiff. Since I have ruined a previous wheelset by "working on it" I prefer to ask prior to work on that one.
If I want to uniformly reduce the spoke tension on this wheel(front, 20 mm axle), can I just unscrew every nipple by lets say one quarter turn at a time? Will that affect the trueness of the wheel?
Thanks for your input,
Night
