I need some measurements from someones bike.
 
Could someone measure the distance from the inside of the swingarm to the outside of the rear rim. I would like the measurement on both sides, they are different(I think). Thanks.

Edit: I will also need to know what number your chain adjusters are in.

I measured approximately 23.5 inches from the center of the inside of the swingarm to the outer edge of the rear rim. I have the 13-tooth CS sprocket and my adjusters are at 5.5....What are you up to, making a longer swingarm for drag racing?:eek:

Sorry,I need the side to side measurements. I had my wheels apart and want to make sure that they are centered where they need to be when I true them. The wheel is off centered in the hub and the swingarm is different from side to side and I didn't measure before I took it apart.

From the inside edge of my Right Swing arm to the inside edge of the rotor is 1 3/8" I couldn't find a good place to measure on the left side. Hope that helps. I don't see how you could change it being as the Brake caliper is against the Bearing cap on the inside edge and against the swing arm on the outside edge.

Thanks Gerry. I can't change the relation of the hubs. I swaped rims out and all of my spokes are loose right now. If you tighten one side of the rim to much you can still get the rim perfectly true but the rim will be off center with the center line of the bike.
Nate I will call you then and stop over Monday if your going to be around.

Oh, I got it. That 1 3/8" will work then as a reference point. I would recommend still measuring Nates bike so you know exactly where you are measuring from & to. Good Luck. If you need me to, I'll Snap a few Jpegs of my tape measure in a few different locations.

Start by threading on the nipples on each spoke, then makeall the spokes the same length (from the hub edge to the end of the spoke nipple)on each side.Tighten each spoke exactly the same amount as you go around the rim. This will keep your hub centered with the rim. I usually give each nipple 1 complete turn as I go around the rim until they all snug up. Then I give them 1/2 or 1/4 turns until the rim is true. Never tighten 2 adjacent spokes - do one side first, then do the other side.
