Thanks for the replies. I don't know how much tension they should have, but will try and make them uniform and also good and tight. I only weigh 130 lbs. but use the bike to carry loads. The spokes are HUGE, maybe 12 gauge. Is there any method for calculating what the approximate tension should be? It's a 700C 36h Campy rim. I have a tension gauge, but on spokes this thick I don't know that it works.
