I bought Park's tension gauge and 'evened-out' the spoke tension on one of my rims . . . just for practice. But I've searched everywhere I can think of and can not find info on WHAT THE TENSION SHOULD BE for my spokes/rims.

It's nice to be able to "measure" things [I own a machine shop] but I need more information on what 'numbers' I'm trying to reach.
