What spoke tension should I use when building wheels with Carbonal rim？
Posted by AdminCarbonal on
During wheel building, please bring the spokes to an even tension with a maximum tolerance of 5% for all drive and all non-drive sides. For the recommended spoke tensions, please refer to the following chart.
| Wheel type | Non-drive side (F) | Drive side (R) |
| Road/Gravel/CX disc wheelset | 120-130kgf | 120-130kgf |
| Road non-disc wheelset | 100-110kgf | 125-135kgf |
| MTB wheelset | 120-130kgf | 120-130kgf |
| Fatbike wheelset | 100-110kgf | 100-110kgf |
Please don't forget to do Stress-Relieving: During and after wheel building, get the wheel stress relieved properly. If a spoke develops a sharp bend in it while building, please replace the spoke.
