GT185 Front wheel hub offset
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2017 2:53 pm
Hi I am currently restoring a 1973 GT 185 K, I am having to make up a new front wheel as the one on the project bike i
acquired was damaged. I have a new rim and spoke set but need the offset measurements to give to the wheel builder.
Does anybody have these measurements or know of anywhere I may be able to find them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS just to be clear the K is the model with the drum front brake.
Thanks for the views but no reply so far. To try and make clear just what I am looking for, I need a measurement from the wheel rim to the face of the hub (with the brake plate removed) this can be obtained by placing a rule or straight edge onto the face of the hub
and measuring the distance to the rim or if the tyre is in the way measure the tyre to hub then the tyre to rim and take away the tyre rim distance to give rim to hub measurement. Hope this helps.
