Hello all,
I came across this:
Bicycling - Wheelbuilding: check spoke tension using musical pitch
If the tension of the two laced spokes is approximately the same, as it should be, you will hear a single, clear musical note. In a typical 700C three-cross wheel, this should be an G with plain-gauge spokes and an A with butted spokes.
Using the android app G strings (yea bad pun with G standing for guitar) most spokes of a front wheel I trued are around 100Hz. Some dip in the 50-60 ish and some in the 200 (too tight).
What does G & A stand for in frequency? G =
98Hz? A =
110Hz?
For my front wheel, what would be the correct frequency per spoke (R500 - 10 spokes each sides)?
