Max drive side tension on Easton Circuits?
Anybody know the tension specs for drive side tension on a rear Circuit wheel? I bought a bike with this wheelset and went to true up the rear, and the tension is pretty consistently about 170kgf. Seems high, huh?
Easton's website has lots of tech info, but I can't find this little tidbit anywhere.

I've read that Velomax wheels use rather high tension, and I think the Circuit fall into that category, but I couldn't tell you for sure. I believe they will happily email you the specs if you ask, though.
