When building a wheel and following the recommended spoke tension, are you looking for average or individual spoke tension? Velocity recommends 110-130. I am working on a 3x sapim race 26" aeroheat wheel for a tandem,and my readings are fairly consistently 21-22 on the park tension meter. But, there are a few outliers that are showing 23 and 24(maybe 4) and fewer (maybe 2) that are showing 20. I think I'm ok with the average tension being on the high side since this will be a tandem wheel, but should be concerned about the outliers since 24 on a 1.7mm spoke is 150kgf per the park chart? At this point the wheel is dished, round and pretty true.
