What does Stan's build tension mean?

Each Stan's wheel is built to a specific tension for the rim used. For each of our rim models we list both a maximum build tension as well as the tensions that we build to in our NY facility to provide the best build and ride quality possible. Please note these tensions are measured without a tire mounted on the rim. As is the case with all wheels, tension will be significantly lower once a tire is installed.

Please see the Wheel Setup Guides for specific build information for your wheels.
