Guessing a disc front hub for ds being the lower tension. The recommended range has as much to do with rim strength as it does wheel strength, if velocity is giving a top rating of 130kgf then you should assume there's a safety reason for doing so. At the least loosen the DS spokes to move the wheel over and relieve some tension. Dropping all the spokes a 1/4 turn will help with relieve more and give you the breathing room to ditch that tiny hop.
