Asymmetrical rims require an offset washer for the valve stem... learn something new everyday

What?!?! Not the ones I built! Why would they require a washer for the valve stem in the first place?!?!

On my arc offset, it does not sit squarely against the rim and leaks air.

If you consider raceface arc offset sketchy ass cheap rims... then yes

 

[shrpshtr325]

generally thought raceface was a reputable company . . . .

DT Swiss makes these washers so I would assume they also makes rims that require these

Does the washer sit on the outside or the inside? How would that seal anything? How confusing.

Outside
I'm thinking it pulls in a tangent so the inside doesn't sit flush.

The Raceface ARC does have an odd cross section. But why wouldn't Raceface have or include something to compensate.

Couldn't find anything from raceface... but found the washer from dt swiss and fsa

I also have another set of raceface arc that were oem from Santa cruz and they came with offset washers... not sure where those were made but looked just like dt swiss ones

you would think that they would include that if it was required . . .

Who's planning to do the Hartshorne ride on Sunday?

 

[Patrick]

Planning.

 

[Paul H]

Hartshorne is too far(lazy) for me.
Wouldn't be able to wake up in time for it.
Wasn't able to wake up for Stephen's last week! Lol

What's the alternative for this weekend?
