But, to do that you need to have a DT tension meter, at least based on what the folks at Rolf told me when I was trying to get them to confirm if my Park OR my Wheelsmith tension meter readings on the '08 wheels were within spec. Their response was, only the DT model is accurate enough to use on their wheels as there's just too much variability in the Park Tools and Wheelsmith instruments at the higher tension levels.

Moreover, if your wheels are still under warranty and you or anyone else works on them who is not an authorized by Rolf you run the risk of voiding your warranty.
