It would be interesting to know what the actual tension would be if the quoted procedure was followed for the kind of rim described. As far as I know, no one has reported that.
to avoid pretzel? what's the point?
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Jobst infers that following his alternate procedure will result in a spoke tension of around 100kg.
longevity depends on avoiding rim cracking and fatigue, and the manufacturer has reported that already. increasing tension doesn't increase strength so there's no point seeking more of it.
Mavic (and most others I presume) spec a min and max. I haven't seen anyone (including Jobst) recommending using more than the max spec. So what's the problem?
You seem to be sure that Jobst's alternate method will produce higher than max spec spoke tensions. How do you know that?
I've used lots of wheels, Mavic & others, the only cracking I ever got was with Mavic Reflex rims (2). I don't know what tension they were built to, I don't think it was very high, they had to be Locktited. All of my other rims just wore out on the brake track.
