Of course, I have no sophisticated equipment so I don't have a clue what the tension is. Tightened it up with a trusty Park on an el-cheapo Minoura stand. Ridden on it since last spring without re-truing.

(and FWIW, I'm borderline Clyde)
You might want to invest in a tension meter before you end up investing in new teeth! Aeroheads are very sensitive to spoke tension.

This was 24h 2x under a 155 lb rider, btw.
