Forget to ask where i supposed to check the tension closer to the rim as on the photo in the first post (random picture from internet) or closer tot he axle?

Take your tension readings on the high tension side, drive side rear, disc side front.
I don't have disks regular linear pull brakes on mine.

Front wheel i have equal tension both sides around 100kgf
