Spoke Tension

[Queestce]

G'day all,

Wondering if anyone has tensioned their 850 spokes at all? I have a couple that are starting to sound a little dull. Does anyone know the torque spec for the front and rear spokes? I have never had a side laced wheel like the GS, but it seems the spokes should be easy enough to tension from the hub using a torx bit on the nipple? Is there anything to it, or is it as simple as it looks?

Any info would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Tk

That's pretty much what I recall from memory and as long as you have a way to keep the spoke from turning you should be good to go. The only torque specs I recall were aiming to match the crescendo of the tight ones.
