I was looking at the Boardman ADV 8.9 bike,
and the wheels look to be laced off centre,
one side of the rim sloes in and down towards
the hub for about 3/4 of an inch, the other side slopes
in and down towards the rim for about 5/8 of an inch.
This means if the wheel is in the centre of the frame as
it should be, then the weight of the rider is pulling more
to one side of the centre of the wheel.
Is this common, is it because the wheel has a brake dis.,
I had a disk brake bike before and the spokes were dead
centre of the rim.
This is Boardmans own wheel, not a Mavic like used on a lot
of their other bikes.
Should I avoid this bike, will it mean if I get wheel trouble
and need another am tied to using this specific Boardman wheel.
Thanks
