Are you sure your wheel is straight?

Dembs (Aug 14, 2011 at 2:36)

Yeah, tried 3 wheels.
Checked my wheel in Bazyl's Banshee.It was fine.
Changed dropouts, but still same thing.
I hope it won't be expensive.

Oh mate that's no good I say! The dropouts are supposed to handle that! The bullit is on burly bike so the chainstay being bent should be covered. I wish you good luck! RidEOn!

Driveside dropout was bent.
The biggest problem is that my warranty ran out 12 days ago.

RidE On!

Actually it was wheel.Rim was 5mm to the left.Wheel was straight, but whole rim moved 5mm to left side.Weird.

Yes, hhahhaaha Your wheel can be straight but not centered. Its very common on people who just tighten one side too much. I have done the same thing! hhahahhahah The wheel had 3 main adjustments to take care of! 1 side wobble 2 vertical wobble 3 centering and last and overall balance of good tension! RidEOn!
