The priciple of tensegrity is that all the wires are in constant tension to produce a rigid structure. I have to determine or estimate the anticipated force. The trunbuckles and swaged ends are all available through the marine industry. Standing rigging on sail boats deal with incredible forces, much greater than what one would expect from a bicycle.
