I look down at my fork and it seems that the wheel is off center, sitting more to the left...
I remember this happening on my old flick but I can't remember if it's normal or not.
Anyone know what's goin on?

it happpens with the thru axel, because it pulls it to one side, and then you lock down the dropouts.... you know?


you need to dish your wheel. takes about 10 minutes.

Ya that's what I was thinkin, cause I have the 20mm version.
So dishing the wheel is the only way I guess?

all it means is that your wheel is out of dish. Take it to a proper bike mechanic and they can fix it in a matter of minutes.

The axel probably isnt clamped down tight enough on one side so the hub is pulled to the other side, screwing up the alignment. Mine isnt straight either, and I dont want to tighten it because if i try, I will probably strip the axel clamp bolts which happen to be made of jello. I just ignore it and ride and i havent had any problems yet.

The wheel needs to be checked with a dishing tool first. If the wheel is in alignment then start looking at the hub drop out interface. The wheel should be centered in the fork if it isnt centered then it needs to fixed not ignored.

im still pissed about my pictures being jacked off my site by some one on the board. didnt mean for it to come out here. thought I was being helpfull. Diagnostics is how you solve mechanical problems. Work through it step by step untill you solve the mechanical issue.

obviously it would be silly to dish the wheel because it seems that you could acually put the axle/hub back on again and it could pull the opposite way resulting in worse rubbing. Unless I understand wrong
