Title: Front and rear hub offset
Post by: JB373 on June 18, 2013, 01:44:20 PM

I'm looking for any help in establishing hub offset. I have a 1971 K1 that although has some aftermarket alloy wheels (I believe from an F series - which will be for sale when I have sorted the spoked wheels) but included in the purchase where the original rims and hubs. I have now cleaned and powder coated these and rethreaded new spokes. I am now at the stage of truing them. Now the question is - what should the hub offset be - I think the front is probably central but if anyone knows for sure what it should be on both the front and back I would be very grateful for any help - thanks.

No offset on either wheel

As Bryan said, no offset, Built mine centred and they were fine.

Another thing is if you buy the proper spokes (or the DS kits) the spoke are exactly the right lenght which makes the truing easier
