    Viewed from above (ie, the bike the right way up), the rear wheel of my road bike (Trek 1.5) is much closer to the LH (non drive) chainstay at the seatube/BB end than the RH chainstay. I’m used to centrally aligned MTB’s.

    The wheel’s in the dropouts properly, and isnt buckled.

    So…. is this right?

    Wheel sounds like its not dished properly, can be checked with a tool most bike shops own

    Just doing some internet research. IIRC is in the centre at the top of the seatstays (I’ll have a look in the morning to check), so if this is the case it could be that the bike has a difference in the chainstays to accomodate the drive gubbins?

    Not sure if this is the case with treks / 1.5’s?

    is that the special tool that takes the wheel out and puts it back in the other way round? ❓

    Haha suppose you could do that.

    ’tis a good point. By flipping the wheel round, if its offset in the other directions its a wheel dish issue, if its the same is the way the frame point its – so its frame design, or its bent….
