Wheel Alignment Problem
I have a new bike (cervelo r2.5) which has Ultegra 10-speed double components on it. The wheels that it came with weren't as good as the wheels I bought a couple of months ago (Bontrager Race X Lites) for my other bike, so I decided to swap them out. The other bike is a 9 speed Lemond triple.
When I put the Bontis on the Cervelo the wheel is not aligned properly between the chainstays. They aren't rubbing against, but they are too close for my liking. The only thing I did was swap out the cassettes. These are practically new wheels so not out of true or anything. What am I missing? Can I adjust this somehow?
The wheels I swapped onto the Lemond are aligned OK.

The only thing I can think of is that there is a wheel dish problem (rim centered betweent the hub surfaces that interface with the dropouts). If you don't have a wheel dishing tool, take the wheels to your LBS and see if this might be the issue.

Reverse the wheel on the bike, if it is out of dish the rim will go closer to the other side of the bike.
