Rear wheel not centering in frame..

Recommended Posts

My rear mtb wheel when put back into the frame, has a much larger gap on the right side compared to the left side. . My wheels were rebuilt a weak ago. So they straight. But when the wheel is not spinning their is an evident larger gap on the one side of the wheel, compared to the other side. Ive retightened the skeweres, but still the same.

Is it normal ?

Wheels weren't dished to suit your frame. Had a similar prob with a set of second hand wheels I bought. Had the rear one dished to suit the frame and they're right as rain.

I rode +- 300km with a wheel like that... But like the okes said have it fixed. Think it cost me 100 jimmies or so to sort out.
