Can anyone tell if the hubs in wheels for "paired spokes" such as
Rolfs are drilled with the spoke holes on each flange aligned with
those on the other flange, or are they offset by 1/2 hole spacin as on
normal hubs?

Most Rolf rear hubs are offset, but only by about 6 degrees. That's
just enough to let the left spokes line up about an inch ahead of the
right spokes (at the rim).
Normal hubs are offset much more than this. For normal hubs,
Offset = 360 / N, where N is the number of spokes.
The Rolf front hubs I've worked on (and Vector Pro rear hubs) are not
offset at all.

That's what I wanted to know
Thanks.
