    Truing a wheel.

    I'm trying to build a wheel for a cb200 drum brake model. Can anyone tell me the offset of the front wheel? I'm having trouble convincing wreckers to rummage through their basements to take some measurements for me.

    Is it offset ? Most drum brake fronts weren't. If there's a significant offset the rim needs to be specially drilled.

    Just throw it in the forks & tighten every 2nd spoke/loosen alternate side spokes to move the rim into centre.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    You need some truth serum.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
