Dishing for an Original Model Bendix one speed hub

[Wildcat]

I'm going to try to lace up a wheel using my original model Bendix hub. Does anyone know if it needs to be dished or should all the spokes be equal length?

It should not need to be dished...I think the spoke length for a typical drop center wheel is 10-5/8" but that is from memory.
Here is a link to a spoke length calculator

Thanks for the info. I looked through that web page. I would take the frame building class if I lived there, then make cruiser frames.

I've had to dish a Bendix RB2 to properly fit a 126mm spaced vintage road frame after adding axle spacers to keep the chainline proper. Fortunately it was not enough to require a different spoke length though. YMMV
