As in size of the offset or number of teeth? What bike, any mods? You don't have enough information for anyone to help other than to say 'standard offset'. 8)

Hey it's only been alittle over three hours since your last post. Some of us take alittle bite more time in the can

Anyhow if you have installed a wider rim and tire and the chain is touching the tire or the chain is at an angle a offset sprocket can help. The only sizes I know of is 3/8 and 5/8. Take a straight edge piece of metal or even a good metal tape measure and place it across the side of rear sprocket going to the counter sprocket and see what the gap is and go from there. You can even remove the sprocket and lay the straight edge across the hub flange if there is not enough room around the frame or counter sprocket area. Just make sure your rear wheel is center or adjusted correctly.

Me I just eye ball mine plus my rear slick is offset to the right anyways and a 5/8 offset works well for me. If the chain looks straight them I'm good to go. Then again I'm always swapping rear sprockets and have 3 different chains laying around.
