Greetings,
I'm in the process of converting a garbage bin road bike to fixed gear. The 700c fixie rear wheel I have is perfectly center (i.e. there's no dish to it). Unfortunately, in order to get a perfect chainline, I'm going to have to recenter the wheel so that the drive side moves outward a bit.
The problem is, I've never redished a wheel before. My first inclination is that I'll be fine as long as loosen/tighten the spokes consistantly (and in small increments as well). What are your opinions?Is this something I should let my LBS handle?
Regards,
T.
