Hi
I noticed that my rear tyre is rubbing my Planet X RT58D frame. It's rubbed <1mm I'd say, so I'm not too worried about that for the moment.
But to stop it, I've had to re-dish my rear wheel so that my dishing tool shows about a 4mm gap on the drive side compared to the brake side. The drive side spokes are now pretty flat, but the wheel is now more or less centred in the frame.
It's possible that the wheel originally came like this, and that I introduced a problem the previous (and first) time I trued up my rear wheel, because I thought that the wheel was supposed to be centred on the hub.
Can anyone clarify on this for me? I don't really see the point in a dishing tool if it's centring in the frame that actually counts.
