Possibly - I don't have any sense of the desirable tension level, it just sort of ended up with most spokes being 20-21#, so I fiddled with the few that were lower (there were a couple in the 18-19# area after truing) and brought them up while staying true.

What determines the ideal tension? Does fewer spokes inherently mean higher tension?
