DE-STRESS THE WHEEL

During the wheel tensioning and truing process, it is highly
recommended to de-stress the spokes repeatedly to en-
sure a stable end result.
FINAL BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS
Final building tensions for OC XC TEAM wheels must be
in line with the values below to ensure durability. These
tensions must be maintained after de-stressing the wheel
These values must be achieved on the drive side of the
rear wheel and the disc side of the front wheel, along with
minimum radial, lateral, and dishing runout tolerances.
Following a correct assembly process within the tolerances
of a high-end wheel, the spokes on the opposite sides of
the wheel will reach their optimal tension.
