For almost every wheel on the market, this is good advice. The Campy Ventos, however, are specifically designed for much lower than normal spoke tension (according to Campagnolo's catalog). I fear that if I tension the wheels tighter than what Campy intended, I'll precipitate premature failure.

Although I don't understand the engineering of the Campy Vento wheels, they're obviously NOT in the mold of the traditional bicycle wheel! For the time being, I'm just going to assume that Campagnolo knew what they were doing when they designed these and continue to use them. If they fail, I'll let y'all know.
