Id not gotten around to doing one of my famous tune jobs on the fixie--as I usually wait till the factory build starts wobbling a couple mms--which never happened. The things were within a mm true from side to side, and had 2mm variances in vertical true.

Fixed the vertical true, then the lateral true--making sure I had perfectly equal spoke tension by listening to plucked spokes, then brought up front and rear tension by an entire turn, destressed to unwind the spokes and seat them in the flanges, then a final whisper of a true. Within 0.3mm of vertical and 0.2mm lateral true. Good enough.

36 Sapim spokes with double wall eyeleted rims and no dish front and rear--I think theyre good for the next ten years at least. :mrgreen:

IRC Tandems at 75psi are the business for curb hopping, btw.

I usually swap as season determines or when theres 1-2mm tread lef

real men wait til they see sparks  :mrgreen:

good advice.

ive still got loads left on my front. my koolstops are wearing in nicely, but i lost the screw+ spring on the left side, i think i must have knocked it off. now that side wont return lol, but thankfully it isnt rubbing.
