You are arguing the importance of appropriate spoke tension but also suggesting that measuring tension by ear is perfectly acceptable?
That does not add up to me.
- jacquesm 5y agoMillions of violinists would disagree. You can go by tone to a pretty high degree of consistency. https://www.bikexprt.com/bicycle/tension.htm https://www.bikexprt.com/bicycle/tension.htm
- anthomtb 5y agoCool article. The pitch based measurement does seem sensible enough for some people. And more accurate then squeezing spokes with your hand. Still, I trust my ability to read a tension meter more than my ability to match pitch. Props to anyone who feels otherwise - pitch pipes are much cheaper than good tension meters.
- cassianoleal 5y agoWhat about apps that spell out the pitch for you (like guitar/instrument tuners), or even translate it directly to spoke tension? e.g. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/spoke-tension-gauge/id518870820 https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/spoke-tension-gauge/id51887082...
