Offset values for Scrambler 350 rims

Postby rbier » Tue Apr 27, 2021 9:58 pm

Hi,

unfortunately I disassembled my rims with all spokes but didn't measured the offset values.
Does anybody knows the values which I need to rebuild them correctly?
I need the values for a 350 Scrambler.

You could mount the hubs to the forks and swing arm and measure any offset of hub centreline. Assuming nothing is bent.

That's exactly what I did in the same stuation.
Front hub assembled in the forks, marked the hub mid way between the fork legs.
The rear was a little trickier, I assumed the swing arm wasn't symmetrical, so marked the hub according to the centre line of the frame.
If I remember correctly, the front was slightly (a few mm) off centre as it was a Monza Junior hub in RT forks (don't worry it works just fine :) ).
I think the rear actually came out dead centre.
The wheelbuilder was happy to work to this, and the results were perfect.
Offset values may not be truly accurate if different rims to the originals are used.
Cheers

Max

Thanks for your replies. Good hints!
I will try do do it like this but have to wait until I have rebuild my fork legs and the powder coated swing arm.

The front hub is offset about 1/4 inch closer to the rim on the brake side of the wheel. The rear is centered, no offset.
