I spent some more time on this last night. I backed off the loose side to move the rim in the direction it needs to go in order to get the dish just right. I ended up with this....DS=96kgf and NDS=135kgf. At this point I can leave it, increase tension all the way around or decrease tension all the way around. Dish is perfect, trueness is perfect and tension is equal all the way around of each side. I confirmed that velocity's spec is only applicable to drive side. The NDS ends up where ever it ends up. I thought the spec was for both sides. I am leaning towards calling it good as is.
