If there is an inherent weakness due to different spoke tension with
rear hub flanges at different measurements from the centre line, why
are rear hubs not made with both flanges equally spaced from the
centre.
The left hand flange would have to match the right hand flange distance
from the centre line I guess, making the flanges only about 37mm apart.
Seems wrong to me but what do you reckon.

That would make for a very narrow bracing angle, which could result in
a weak wheel. Some brands - like Ritchey - have moved the non-drive
side flange in a bit, and combined that with an asymmetric rim, to get
very close to a "dishless" wheel without excessive narrowness.
And now, all the RBT regulars, who know more about wheels than I do,
will step in to correct my egregious errors.
