Spoke tension was around 27 on my guage. Chart measured spokes in mm so wasn't an exact match. They are pretty chunky spokes & I used an 11g spoke key.
@Thrustvector it's an Enviolo (Nuvinci) hub, dunno rims & 36 spokes.
I should point out that the wheel/spokes were fine for first year & I've only done about 20miles since I rebuilt the wheel. I kind of expect a bit of trueing after a few miles, but these spokes had just rattled loose.
Can one use some type of threadlock after greasing/lacing/trueing a wheel?

That's a bit weird then; assuming the rim's not an offset one, you'd expect the tensions to be equal once it's central. I've heard of people using thin threadlock on the spoke side of the nipples and letting it wick up the threads, but I don't know how well that works if you've oiled the threads to help the wheel build in the first place.
(As an aside, I'm not entirely convinced heavyweight spokes are necessary for a cargo bike; if you look at the tensile strength of spoke steel, standard 14/15 gauge spokes can crank up to rim-breaking tensions without going anywhere near yield stress.)

Think the Nuvinci builds into a symmetrical wheel with even spoke tensions if that makes a difference
@ian(conker) the fatter spokes are more liable to self loosening..
Edit- ah just seen you rebuilt- what tension did you build them up to?
And are they def 11g? All the Nuvinci wheels I’ve seen have been 13g spokes - just quite unusual!
