Well this has made interesting reading, just built up an old hardtail frame with some 2009 SID Race forks, been out for a couple of rides round Cannock and noticed the odd tyre buzz, got home and saw the wheel was sitting well over to the left hand side. Looks like this might explain why!
There's another thread further down "Twisted SIDs 2011 120mm", running concurrently to this one........
Yeah sorry, I didn't use the search.
TF Tuned said hey will sort for me.
Don't apologise! I just wanted to make to draw your attention to the fact it's an on-going issue and what SRAM have previously said!
Turnerguy your wheel issue sounds like the wheels been built offcenter rather than the forks esp if your other wheelmsits central
Checked the wheel - it is fine and sits in the middle with a superstar axle, but not with the DT Swiss RWS axle. From discussion on another thread it seems likely that the RWS is able to apply better torque to the axle, forcing the fork lowers to be square to the axle, whereas the QR cannot apply as much torque and so the fork lowers win the battle to remain twisted.
update.
I got forks back yesterday from lbs, sramtechcentre uk returned both sets with new lowers.
wheels now sit central in both pairs.
Thank-you SRAM tech & Cycle Honiton.
race tomorrow. time to rebuild bike.
