Dragonfly wheel rebuild

[Sgtbiro]

Not being the most knowledgeable restorer in the world when i striped my Dragonfly down for restoration i did not realise there were measurements i should of taken form the wheels before dismantling them for the wheel re-builder to use to reassemble them, so dose anyone happen to know the off sets i will require to get my wheels rebuilt.

Many thanks Kevin..

If you don't get these served up to you on a platter, you can always rough assemble up the axles and hubs and spacers,
and figure out the centreline through them and the bike, and the chain runs. And work out any offsets from there.

I've just been doing this with an EW, since the jumble of wheels and axles and bits didn't seem to entirely match up with anything.
And they'll need relacing to get workable tyre sizes, so measuring is one thing I'm not going to omit...
Cheers.

I have just dismantled mine ready for painting British Hub brake and these are the measurements I took before removing the spokes

Front Drum side=10mm =3/8"
FRont Non Drum=25mm=1"
Rear Drum side=41mm=1 11/16"
Rear non Drum 44mm= 1 3/4"

Hope that helps

Cheers
