I should have mentioned i don't want super tense spokes (e.g. like mountain bicycle with active suspension), i use single wall rims intentionally because they flex better to make ride softer. Coming from that what tension is minimal, provided i adjust it often so its not a problem to make adjustment once a month or so.


Picture is from the internet i antique single walled aluminum rims.
No, it doesn't work like that. You will never feel 'better ride quality' from lower spoke tension unless you ride without tires.
