Royce rear track hub = dished wheel?

The single sided hubs are built asymmetric to give a bit more bracing angle on the non-drive side spokes, which makes the wheel slightly stiffer laterally. Rational design of cycle hubs pretty much dictates that the bearing centreline is fairly close to the flange centreline to keep the load path through the hub shell as direct as possible, and maximising the bearing spacing adds a bit to radial stiffness of the complete wheel by moving the load application on the axle closer to its support point. Both are tiny effects, as demonstrated by the success of symmetric double sided hubs, but Phil, Royce, Campag are all asymmetric on their single sided hubs, and I assume Shimano, Suntour and Suzue are too although I haven't actually seen them in the flesh to measure. They build up with a little dish, although you could build them practically dishless for 126mm OLN conversions by putting the spacers in the non-drive side only if you could live with the +3mm chain line

Thanks for the info, it definetly makes sense, however i'l let you all know what cliff says on monday.
