Message	what amount of "flex" is designed into your wheels. IF in fact wheels do flex telescopically (meaning basically that while "flexing" the actual offset CHANGES) then the manufacturers will certainly be aware of it and have designed a level of tolerance into the wheel. I seriously am curious to know what IF ANY tolerance there is for such. If you get a reply that rewads something like, "what?" then my conceptions of physics are not so silly as you suppose. Regardless, I stand by my conclusion, a properly torqued down wheel with 1mm of clearance from the caliper, will NEVER "flex into" said caliper. I will BUY the tires you provide that cause my wheels (with such clearance) to flex into the calipers before they lose grip. These spokes will never flex into this caliper
