Meter Calibration Notes
The TOOPRE TL-P3 uses a spring plunger system with a laser-etched mechanical scale. Its lookup profile functions identically to standard mechanical deflection scales.
Wheelbuilding Tip: Ensure that all spokes on the same side of the wheel have a tension variance within ±10%. Uniformity is more critical for wheel trueness and spoke longevity than absolute maximum tension.
