Hi all,
All of the spokes on the non-drive side on the rear wheel of my Felt F95 seem under considerably less tension than the drive side. They're only the factory built wheels that the bike came with, but I am unsure if the tension should be different side to side.
All the non-drive side spokes seem to be fairly consistently tensioned, just not as much as the drive side. Is it usual to have differing tensions? There is no fancy lacing with the spokes, just a regular three cross set-up.
Must admit that I have noticed the slightest flexing in the wheel if I stand while climbing, but can't decide if this has always been present to a degree, or if I am now sub-consciously trying to notice these issues.
Any tips about spoke tensions on both sides of a wheel gladly accepted, thanks.
