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"
