SL125 Wheel rebuild offsets?

[Rod]

I have a basket case SL125 that I am restoring. Rims, hubs etc where de spoked before it got to me . Wheels will be sent to Hamco soon but I don't have any offset measurements. Any SL125 owners out there kind enough to assist. Thanks in advance.

Why hamco ? The guy who took over Len Reynold's business in Sydenham - Wire Wheel Services - has all Len's records AFAIK.

Len had been around long enough, the data you need is probably in his book.
He had Rudge figures when I needed them...

I have a xl 100 k2 been told its a sl in the past . tell me what to measure and i go give it a go . i thought ofest the forks but you mean the spokes , ?i can take photos of both hubs and rims too.
I be down there from feb 23 if theres any bits you want look at i can bring them. am limited on the plane . so wheels bit out the qwestion. i rebuilt my engine in the past

Super simple to build yourself. School of YouTube I guess but I just worked it out myself back in the day. The only trick is bend on inner and outer are different.
But I have always started with the std spokes. Can zinc them.

Once built and true you can mount in fork or swing arm and centralise by loosening every 2nd spoke 1 turn and tightening other spoke. Moves the wheel over a mm or so and keeps in true. Peasy.

Cheers for the heads up, I have had Len do some wheels in the past for me. Didn't realise someone had taken it over.

Will look into it.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, have done the odd wheel, maybe need to get some standard spokes and get into it.

Thanks for the offer. I will get the hubs out in the weekend and have a look at it again and get you to have a measure up. The Haynes book would be really handy.I will PM you with more info. Many Thanks, cheers Rod.
