I just made an astounding (to me, anyway) discovery...
The spokes on the front wheel of my LWB /5 appear to be laced asymmetrically; there is about .090" clearance between the spokes on the left side, but on the right side they actually touch, in fact they more than "touch"; the spokes deflect (almost imperceptibly) to get past each other.
Everything I've ever read says that spokes do not touch each other.
So this is a "poll" question; Do the spokes on YOUR /5 touch on either side, or not. And if not, how much space is there between them?
The strange thing is my /5 handles really well; and the front wheel has never been touched to my knowledge.
