Either the wheel is dished (rim centered between the ends of the lock nuts) or it is not. Of course - many folks casually will throw in the word "dished" in place of describing offsets when chatting - but if you are going to be a wheelbuilder - try not to do that.

OK. So.. one is just MORE dished. Which.. is what I meant. Now I know.

Being a 'spoke threader' apprentice (just past newbie stage).. I assume all of them run in the center. The more spacer one puts on the left the less the dish angle is... that is the nature of my 'speriments. Got a hair of an idea-er how to keep the heads from rattling when loose.......

Oh... 50 here today.. what a NICE ride. I mean VERY enjoyable.
