Most of the complaints were because of broken spokes. But this could be the wheel wasn't set up properly to begin with. Oh yeah, no wonder I'm having trouble riding my bike. I was trying to peddle my bike instead of pedaling! Hope this takes care of my idle problem. And no, my bike's not for sale!
By OCR, he's not talking about mountain bike wheels. OCR means off center rims, in Kimmo's usage. Off center rims in the hands of a very capable wheel builder can result in very strong wheels. Especially rear wheels.
