Why is this stickied? The only informative part is the OP, everything after is strictly ignorance, and obviously a miscommunication.
Rotordad is incorrect. If everyone had been talking about negative offset rather than positive he would have been correct. I'm giving him the benefit of doubt and assuming his logic was simply confused, and he's not a total tard. If spacers were sold as negative sizes maybe it wouldn't be so confusing.
IE: -10 offset used with a 10mm spacer would put you at a -20mm offset (
neg 20mm offset that is). 10+10=20
Ted seems to be tired of ignorance, and is getting a bit grumpy. I believe he should go surfing and get recentered.
