Connor Powell Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Alright guys, I've got a new frame, mbk t1000 (blue) But when i put my rear wheel in, in sits way too far right and is sat against the frame? Its a pro2 hub, il have to get a picture tomo probably but if anyone can shed some light on why it may be doing it?Thanks, connor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 means its been built favouring a side instead of straightjust go round it tightening all the spokes on the side thats not touching the frame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otacon Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Does the same on my mates frame, but he's got control and a king hub, Full HD. Its wierd cause its dished fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Powell Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Was fine on my pitbull though, as far as im aware it was built by tarty if this makes a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Frames are made differently, basicly you need to bolt the wheel up in the dropouts loosen the spokes on the right hand and tighten them on the left to bring the rim across to the centre.then when you get close put your brake on and true it between your pads making sure it doesnt rub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah, either your old frame was out of alignment and so was the wheel, or the new one is out of line. If I were you, I'd just check the alignment on the new frame before you re-dish the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 You shouldn't have to dish a wheel with a pro2 though. Surely it should sit just dead staight......? I personally wouldn't have touched the wheel without checking the frame. I thought the whole point of the pro2 was to be able to have a central wheel therefore increasing strength etc........

Ben John-Hynes Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have this problem sometimes. Takes ages to get the wheel in straight, after tightening one bolt a bit, then the other a little bit, then the other one tight, then the other one tight. Long story short, it's a pain.

Muel Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I just put all my weight on the bike to get it in straight then lamp them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
