I was checking the diameters of the spokes I was using earlier this week (very important - it's how I realized they sent me Revolutions instead of Competitions once) and my Competition spokes varied from 1.8 to 1.7 according to the Park guage. I know that thing's not accurate, but when some spokes slip right in, some grind by, and some don't fit at all, you know you have a wild variance. Unfortunately, that also means the tensionmeter won't be as accurate, but it still gets close enough.
I measured a bunch using digital calipers. Wasn't trying to measure them with any REAL accuracy but it appeared that if they were off, they were off by, at most, .02 mm.
