Having just taken delivery of a new set of Fulcrum 7s I see that the rim hole on the rear is off-set to the drive side, is this normal?

    Yes, due to this. My Fulcrum 5s are the same.

    NEW ASYMMETRIC RIM PROFILE
    asymmetrical rear rim profile allows for better balancing of spoke tensions between drive and non drive side, giving better symmetry to an asymmetric component. Increased efficiency and reactivity are sure to be noted.
