In requards to regular old loopframe wheels with drum brakes there is
no offset in requards to spoking. All spokes are equal length, rims
are symetrical as are hubs. Just spoke it and true it. Loopframe
wheels are the easiest wheels to spoke ever, (try an Indian one time)
the drum sets the angle you don't have to worry about crossing spoke
patterns ar anything, just spoke it.

Yup, there is a slight offset there. You can make a tool with some
flat barstock, and some bolts & washers. I might be able to send a
photo tonight of one to you if you really need it. I screwed with a
wheel a bit ago.
I wasn't able to get the thing trued. I was able to obtain the
offset, but in trying to true the wheel the offset was lost
everytime. I gave up and took the thing to a pal of mine. He true it
and it feels great on the bike. Before my pal fixed what I screwed up
it felt really screwy on the bike.
When he was truing it he did not bother with the offset. Didn't even
ask about it. I just figured that he has done more wheels than me so
I wasn't gonna worry about it. Slapped the skin back on and the wheel
is great. I never rechecked the offset after he was done with the
wheel. The intial measurment was only almost 1/16" with the hub
offset to the right. I also checked this against a few other wheels
and all were the same, so I chalked it up as it was allot better so
don't worry and ride the thing.

Got a question here gentlemen. Are Moto Guzzi Ambo rims centered over
the hubs? I do not see any "offset" specs anywhere.....and I need to
swap rims with hubs. Hope this makes sense. Thanks, Brett
