Inverse Tensioning On Roller Frames
« on: February 25, 2016, 02:34:53 PM »
We've been doing inverse tensioning on our roller frames and getting mixed results.  Does anyone else do this as opposed to traditional stretching to a certain newtons?

I'm guessing you mean reverse curve?

Like when you leave more slack near the corners to compensate for the rollers deflection?

Sbrem:  There's info on it in the Stretch Devices PDF:  http://stretchdevices.com/sites/default/files/Quick_Stretch_for_4R-English_0.pdf

Elite:  Do you get mixed results without doing a reverse curve? 
IME it was a serious pain to get it just right... and the benefits for lower tension 23x31 users like me seem minimal, if they exist.
