Hi all
The front wheel of my Kona Dew Drop has been out of alignment for a while now. I assumed it was a little out of true and have been too lazy to fix it.
Anyway, I had a fiddle with it yesterday and discovered that the wheel wasn't seated properly in the dropouts. I'm 100% certain that I had it in square to start with but I'm wondering if the torque action of the disc brake has pulled the wheel out slightly? The disc is mounted on the left and the wheel was tilted slightly to the left. I've tightened up the QR but I'm curious and a little concerned. Is this normal?
Any ideas or comments?
Cheers,
Chuffy
