I have a pair of DT Swiss RR440 rims that I'm going to build up soon -- they have a spoke tension limit of 1200 Nm specified on the rim label (approximately 120 kgf).

I had a set of Zipp 404's with a PT that I built to the Zipp specs (which meant I limited the DS tension on the back to ~100kgf). The front wheel was fine, but I did experience an NDS spoke failure on the rear.
