Source sentences:
text: Wheel stiffness does not vary significantly with spoke tension unless a spoke becomes totally slack.
text: The last two data points below, 9 and 10, taken when the spokes were so loose the wheel was almost sloppy, show that the wheel becomes significantly more flexible when spokes on the detensioning side of the wheel actually become slack.
text: Slack spokes cannot contribute to wheel stiffness; thus the older model deflected more While spoke tension normally does not have a significant effect on wheel stiffness (See question number 1 above), this is only the case as long as no spokes become slack.
text: In comparing old versus new Spinergies, the initial tension was low enough in the older Spinergies that spokes did become slack, making the older wheels more flexible as a result.
