Espresso - caramel cycles part 2

So was that a long term test of the wheels or the skills of whoever properly tensioned them.

I have put the word properly in bold and underlined to draw particular attention to it because your use of that very word insinuates that the wheels were improperly tensioned before the work was done to them. An improperly tensioned wheel would, I hope you would agree, be neither safe nor fit for purpose.

I felt that I would preempt any possible untrueness in advance. It was simply being prudent. I squeezed the spokes and felt some give, and thought I'd rather not have to retension the wheel after 3 days. I think I'm pretty rough on wheels. The factory tensioning is not, I feel, sufficient for a clydesdale.

I don't feel the wheel was improperly tensioned, but not sufficiently tensioned, for my weight. For some of the whippets on here, it may have been fine. I'm pretty sure all this has already been clear to you. You did give input on the other wonderful thread also.
