Topic: Lacing front wheel off center for cb750

[corky]

Hey guys,

After seeing 1 post from 6 years ago, and not seeing anyone that had ever done it, I thought I would start a new thread.

Has anyone laced their front wheel 3-4mm off center (away from brake hub side) to make the front wheel truly centered to the bike?  I could not actually find a post where someone centered the wheel.  I saw in Marks book where he points this out, and I have a 71 CB750 that is complete to confirm, it is indeed off center.  I just sent my front wheel to Buchanan's to have it laced to a center hub, and asked them to off center it 3mm away from the brake side.  Will this work out as planned, or am I crazy?  Or both?  I would have gave the lacing a shot on my own, but I am having a rear DID rim laced to a front hub, so the spoke holes will need redrilled to change their angle.

Thanks for any feedback.

I'll be relacing my 750 wheels soon, I wasn't aware there was an offset on any of the SOHC fours front or rear.

Following with interest.
