However, they come with a hefty price tag compared to the TM-1. | |

Then again, I don't have a tensiometer but built a fair share of bmx wheels and it seems that if you and up with a rim which is round and doesn't wobble while at the same time there's no obvious off-sounding spokes, you're good to go. | |
