Non-drive. The idea is that the offset makes for a 'better triangle' and thus the wheel will be more beefy. Asymmetric on the front is pointless but I think tester pointed out earlier that you won't die from building a front wheel with an asymmetric rim

That's what I thought, but then I decided he must want it to go with a disc brake hub. Surely the same justification for the back wheel applies to a front wheel with a disk hub? I guess it doesn't take quite as much as weight and won't flex in corners etc.?

Ok. So I build the rear with offset holes on the drive side? What about the front?
