so i built up a Fit Dak frame the other day, mostly with parts that i had from previous bikes. the only problem is that the rear wheel i put on it (eastern 9er) is too small...it seems like this wouldnt be a huge problem but it throws off my chainline A LOT...any suggestions? any rear wheels that will fit my frame?
edit: and i have already tried respacing my cranks...the chainline is still off

Do you have pics of your chainline from the rear toward the front and of your set up?

Pics would be good. Are you running a generic chain or those interlock chains?

trust me, its not...its just not the best photograph of it. the chainwheel is further to the right than the driver. Someone suggested maybe i should put a few extra washers on the wheels axle. would this help?

Is it possible the spindle's on backwards?
After looking at the picture again, it strikes me odd that there are two spacers on the left and one on the driveside. The spindles where the surface area for the cranks are spaced differently.

Buy thinner ones. And to answer your next question, they are located at your local hardware store. Does your chain fall off when you pedal? Or is this some OCD thing?
