Hi

I was cleaning my old frame set to take some pics and advertise it on here and came across this :(

I have had a look at my new frameset which I have done about 150 mile on and its started to happen to this too :shock: .

Theres slight movement in the wheel if you try to move it side to side but nothing I would class as excessive.

Whats going on, is there something I can tighten up or is it a bikeshop job?

My wheels are Dura Ace C24 7900.

Cheers

Chris

    Cones or poor alignment by operative. Not tyre size as its only on one side.
  • I would hope I wouldnt screw up the alignment twice. So sounds like im going to need a bit of reading and some cone spanners.

    There is some slight rub on the other side but next to nothing compared to that.

    Cones are simple as to sort - do a bit of Park Tools reading and that should see you straight.

    Alternatively, head to a good bike shop and ask to sit in while they do it - if they are cool they won't have a problem and you'll see what you need and how to do it.

    With a Mavic its a silly plastic tool and a 5mm allen key - D/.A I don't know, sorry. Anyone else?

    HTH

    I'm surprised you didn't notice the wheel rubbing the frame while riding.
