Asymmetric Light Bicycle Rim & Schlumpf 2022 hub

The drawing needs some numbers for reference so I’ll provide them here.

A B C D E
Hub 100mm 160 100 57 17 16
Hub 125mm 185 125 82 17 16

As I see it logically an asymmertric rim makes the spoke tension more evenly distributed than using an symmetric rim. But An offset of 2mm will not make the wheel fully symmetric (that will require much higher offset and probably create more issues than it tries to fix. As far as I can calculate you will need an offset of 11,5mm to make a symmetric build)

So “any” offset is probably better than no offset in this regard. Likely a fine choice of rim :slight_smile:
