Rear Wheel Not Centred
I've got a handbuilt rear wheel, 18 months old and roughly 2000 miles use. It's a bit out of true, which isn't a major problem, but when noticing this I've also noticed that it also isn't centred correctly, i.e it sits closer to the drive side chainstay.
I swapped the wheel over (cassette on the wrong side) and then it sat nearer to the non-drive side chainstay, so it isn't an issue with the frame.
I'm not sure how long it's been like this, possibly since new. The tyre which has been on since new is actually a bit worn on that side where it's probably been, at times, catching the chainstay.
Is this something easily fixable, or is it something for a wheelbuilder?
Thanks

Easily fixed if you know what you are doing... can you not bring it back to the builder for sorting?left the forum March 20230

Thanks for the reply, I'm assuming after a bit of googling, that the dishing is off, definitely not one for me and a solitary spoke key!
Unfortunately not the one that built it in the first place, but there is one near me that I shall take it to...Mañana0
