Brian The front hub is a straight hub and is not offset that I know of, I've laced 20 or 30 of them. The pattern is easy and if using the original spokes, the hub will center easily. Make sure you sort the inner spokes from the outer. You can tell this by the angle that the top of the spoke is bent.
