Hi guys, I replaced two broken spokes on my Elops 900e electric bike's rear wheel. I've trued the wheel before with the zip tie trick, but I just bought a spoke tension meter to try to be a bit more precise and spread the load evenly on the spokes. Is there a simple way to get an average tension target for the spokes? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

if you know what size your spokes are, you can find a spoke tension chart online and that should tell you what you need to know.
