Having a pair of spoke wheels re built and the builder says just in case
would be handy if i supplied him with the offset measurements
what is it and how do i do i measure it.
I know shouldve asked him but was in a hurry when i was chatting to him.

I believe it to be the rim offset to the centre of the wheel.

I had some wheels rebuilt for my Z9A4 by a local guy in Shrewsbury and he never asked,just rebuilt them...
I would suggest there is no offset to be catered for...on a std kwak..

Thats what i thought, i had a wheel rebuilt years ago on Z750 twin
and the guy just rebuilt it without asking that.
But they did say "just in case"

Maybe he is going to charge extra just in case :D
