Can you link to a site which does?
Having said that I do agree with choosing spokes that are "balanced" with their job. Most of the time this is more rim strength/stiffness and spoke count dependent. Andy
I’d go further and say that even spoke tension limits for rims is hard to find. You can find “ranges” but nothing that is concrete nor that suggests the values have been measured. Velocity, for example, suggest 110 kgf to 130 kgf for
all its rims. The same spoke tension range is given for the 450g A23 to the 650g NoBS. There’s more information on tire size ranges…something that I consider mostly useless…than on spoke tension ranges.
