Yes. I would agree. The wheel axle slipped on the dropout (see previous post) causing the wheel to lose alignment. (I should've tightened the nuts when i installed the wheel...my bad).

I have kept the front brake pads. Those seems virtually new. The stock brake pads does not seem as durable as the Tektro brake pads, but I would like to see how the front brake pads hold up. No need to worry about the wheel alignment on the front, and the pads are perfectly aligned with the rim.
