Glad you're experienced now - we'll have a rim building party in Kamloops and build up a front for my 950. We have a couple of spare rooms you know.....bring Dom.
Lots more experience than I expected I rebuilt 4 wheels overall.
Did you ear about Dish?
I just read about after I put the rear wheel on the bike and found the tire very close to the chain guard...
So I had to redo the job to gain 1/4 of an inch...
I could have left that way, but better to do it right.
PS. It's not a picture of me

Step 3. With the wheel off the bike and the tire off the rim, lay the rim on a flat surface and measure the distance from the outside edge of the rim to the edge of the surface (see photos below). Do this for both sides and write it down, you will want this info later. The reason for doing this is sometimes the rim sits off center to the hub. It is this way with nearly all rear wheels and some fronts. The term for this is “dish”. Rear wheels have it because of the offset caused by the sprocket. The rim actually sits a bit closer to the drive side of the bike. If you don’t do this correctly, it is possible the rear tire will rub the swing arm when you are finished… not good. Another way to check this is to measure the distance between the swing arm and the rim, flip the wheel around in the truing stand or swing arm/ fork and measure at the same point. If the measurement matches, you are good to go, if not then you need to tighten or loosen one side of the spokes to let the rim shift over.
