ChrisTrials2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Built my first wheel there, nice and straight, correct lacing and all that, but when I put it in my fork dropouts, its off to one side massively when its between the flanges at an equal distance either side. so are you supposed to dish it to one side to make sure the tyre doesn't rub off the legs?

bike_dummie Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm no expert as ive never built a wheel my self but i think it will need to be moved towards the disc side as the flange has been moved inwards to compensate for the rotor and the tabs unlike a non disc wheel where you would have the rim in the middle of the flanges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 As above, just loosen the non disc side and tighten the disc side half a turn at a time till it pulls over. That's what I did to level mine up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
