Not quite, but it is engineering.
> Overtensioning is actually pretty easy
Again what materials are you using? When at optimal tensions in a mtb wheel from mavic, you would already be turning really hard and in danger of damaging the nipples before overtensioning. It really is not that easy if you tensioned the wheel evenly
- jacquesm 5y agoEngineering is to math as ideal lines between points are to sharpie marks, superficially they cover the same concepts but they're not the same. Engineers worth with safety margins (in this case: 40 to 60%), mathematicians work with ideals. Engineers will use math to get to their solutions, and will then back off from that 'perfect' solution to give them a safety margin to take into account excursions into borderline overload, material defects and so on all balanced against costs.
