Thank you everybody. :-) Time to recalculate.

Oh yeah, I have been measuring everything myself... I've learned over the years that trusting published measurement data can be.. erm.. problematic? As noted earlier suns published data is off.

KISS

1. Measure center-of-hole to center-of-hole for flange diameter.

2. Standard Front: Measure center-of-flange to center-of-flange divided by 2. That's front offset.

3. Rear: 130mm / 2 = 60mm. Measure center-flange-left to left axle nut end. Measure center-of-flange-right to right axle nut end. Subtract each from 60mm. Results are your left and right offsets.

Get those numbers down right...FBinNY will stop using caps. I'll stop picking on you.
