terry26rims Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 My spare rear wheel sits in my Ashton Justice over to the left. The tyre rubs the frame when i tip the bike to the right and my tensile offset mounts are set so one is out and one is in. PAIN IN THE ARSE! This is only a tempory wheel till i can afford new rim but would like to know if normal mountain bike rear hubs are off centered please.

N.Wood Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Tighten the spokes on the right hand side a quarter turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry26rims Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 This i know, but my other old wheel is the same. sits to left. Their as true as true comes. just wondered if wheels set up for gears were off set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 A normal mountain bike wheel should sit central in the frame and be equally dished from either end of the hub axle, as with any hub/rim combination, geared or singlespeed.. Your wheel may be true, but it sounds like it isn't dished correctly which is what Nick is advising you to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
