Re: Rear Hub Flanges Equally Spaced From Centre Line

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.

Some Mavic wheels I've seen from the perspective of a pace-line seem to
be just as you describe. I haven't measured any, but it sure looks that
way. Asymmetrical rims seems like a much better solution to me.
