I just read that a properly tensioned wheel can have over 1000 pounds of force on each spoke. That seems crazy high to me.

My last wheel build ended with a spoke pinging off and hitting me in the forehead. Maybe I was aiming for 2000 pounds.

Wait that can't be right, that's like the weight of a small horse pulling on every single thin wire. My brain just can't picture a bike wheel holding that much force without exploding lol.
