So if the spoke tension is equal on both sides, why would one side need
washers? Makes no sense to me.

Your NOS BBs have really nice high quality bearings. I would imagine that
the tolerances related to a mild load on those bearings that accumulate
from the bearings themselves in the cylinder, the cartridge installation
cups' receptacle ends, their threading and the frame's BB threading when

The drive side still has higher tension, and the way to get durable wheels
is to get high tension without cracking the rim. The washers spread the
load of the spoke nipple over a wider area and prevents the rim from
cracking. With lowish spoke count wheels and dished wheels, you can easily
exceed t
Not a huge fan of the 16/8 idea for this reason. Seems like a solution in
search of a problem.

I wonder when we'll see a new Gus Boots Willsen build with a 16/8 rear

Respondents, I'm grateful for all your input/suggestions. Once again, I've
learned through your experiences.
John, read your suggestion about possibility of screw retaining BB cable guide
being too long and interfering with BB and immediately grabbed my screw driver
to check it. Unfortunately (
If you feel that your wheels are already plenty strong and durable enough,
sure. But what I've discovered over the years is that hubs have gotten
their wR smaller and smaller, which reduces the bracing angle and increases
the difference in tension between drive and non-drive side wheels.

Almost new Crust Romanceur in 58cm size (large). I bought the frame new
over last summer and built it up. But it only has 30 miles on it, as it’s
one of (too?) many bikes I have.
It’s a great riding bike but I will be moving and need to cut down the
collection.

So if the drive side spokes have higher tension, why are the washers put on
the non-drive side spokes? Again, makes no sense to me.

Andrew is correct. I made a mistake --- the washers are on the drive side,
not the non-drive side.

John at Neugent Cycles strikes me as "the real deal" with the right
connections and knowledge of modern wheel-building practices. Plus I could
be wrong but I think he's building these wheels himself, regardless they're
hand-built here stateside. (He let me mail some SimWorks' raw brass nipples

All shorts have been sold.

Totally agree with John's wheels. If I didn't like building wheels so
much, I'd buy his for sure.
As far as spoke tension imbalance, I'll reserve judgement until I have a
problem. Currently, I have 8 bikes with 9+ speed freehubs. I've never had
a spoke tension related problem with any, inclu
Spoke tension wasn't an issue until hubs with wR went down to ridiculous
level. On one of my recent builds I discovered that the non-drive side was
definitely too loose if I tensioned the drive side to Velocity's specs. So
I made the decision to just tension the spokes to beyond velocity's specs

Or if someone has a lead as to where to purchase one new, that'd be great,
too. I've tried a number of different vendors but all were out of stock.

I'm a big proponent of using the rear quick release as the peg and stuffing
it between the seat-stay and seat-tube. Much cleaner. I add some elastic
paracord as added security down near the QR.

This is cool, Eric - but how is it better than using the pump peg that was
so thoughtfully brazed onto your frame?
