This feels like a bit of a stupid question, but... the rear wheel on my BFe sits about an inch to the drive-side of centre, going by the wishbone. I've had the wheel checked for dish and its fine. I'm guessing this isn't normal - or is anyone else's the same?

Hope hubs?

Check that the axle is engaged all the way into the dropout. Take the QR off. Peer at it. Make sure it's sat right up into the dropout.

I've seen it happen on some frames before. Hope axles are often a touch large and with steel lazer cut/CNC dropouts and thick powdercoat, they don't always fit right in.

Might need a touch rubbing off the axle, or the dropout.
