I did a search for the title and did not see any hits, so here it goes,
On occasion I've looked at offset rims. I get the concept of more even spoke tension, fine. But now you have uneven rim forces. Which is worse? On narrow rims, it may not be a big issue either way because the offset is small. But lets talk rider rims where you can get the spokes almost the same length and tension, but now you have a lot more rim hanging off one side of the spoke line than the other. To me, it seems you just move a problem from one place to another.
Anyone riding a wide offset rim hard, any comments?
