Does anyone know where I can find the manufacturers recommended spoke tension for a Sun CR-18 rim? I
tried the Sun Metals web site, but if it is there I couldn't find it.
Thanks for your reply.

If you can't find torque specs try using a screw driver and tune by ear. Nipple torque and spoke
tension never seem to agree for me due to lubrication differences and corrosion around the nipples. -

I would say 100 kgf for the right side rear and front.

DT 2.0/1.8 butted spokes. -
Depends... Is this a 622 (700c) or 559 (26"MTB) rim, typical front or typical rear flange
arrangement, and how many spokes?-Brian Smith
