About Spoke Tension on Disc Wheels

A customer left me a so-called Chinese carbon disc wheel for inspection.
Since I can't do truing work on it, I only checked the hub.

The maximum allowable spoke tension is listed as 130 kgf.
Good to remember.

I know this might seem like nitpicking about recycled stickers, but
there's a type of HED disc wheel with a structure where spokes run internally,
and you can do some truing by tightening or loosening the internal nipples.
It's similar to the original Cosmic Carbon where the rim depth of the carbon fairing
extends all the way to the hub.
