Hello all

I'm rebuilding the wheels on my 1975 Honda CB125S basket case and I don't have the measurements for any hub offset. Can anyone help with front and back measurements.

Thanks

Bolt the hub in the frame with the appropriate spacers. Find the middle point. See where this lands on the hub. That's your offset.

A steel rule clamped between the fork legs/swingarm legs would be a good tool for this. You can measure halfway and how far offset to either side the hub flanges are.

Don't be too fussy, a slightly wrong offset either way wont upset the handling unless the tyre is rubbing on something. The back wheel in a Yamaha V-max is offset about an inch and a half off the midline of the bike by design.
