Re: Wheel offset
I've built several wheels using a variation of the Taverner jig and it works very well.

Re: Wheel offset
Thanks, that looks like a good idea, this doesn't account for the offset though?saltbox alf wrote:Lifted this bit from a book site

Re: Wheel offset
Yes it does, the hub goes down on the baseboard and rim location blocks are made the thickness to give the correct off set.Ozmadman wrote:Thanks, that looks like a good idea, this doesn't account for the offset though?saltbox alf wrote:Lifted this bit from a book site

Re: Wheel offset
Late entry - this is great info and should be in the Tech Info section for the future.

Re: Wheel offset
The original book is now being reprinted and is an excellent buy. Mind you I should have sold my original when they were fetching £150!

Re: Wheel offset
On the front maybe but isn't there usually an offset on the back to compensate for the sprocket etc?GOLDSTAR wrote:Lost me! didn't think there was an offset on the wheels, wasn't on mine when I measured it before rebuilding it, straight pull spokes etc, kind rehards
