Hi all,

I have a Carbon Roadie with a frame that's about 4 weeks old. Ive noticed that the rear wheel appears to be misaligned. The wheel is slightly (1-2mm) closer to the chain stay and seat stay on one side. Ive installed two different wheel sets so am confident its the frame - not wheel dish. GOne through all the necessary steps to ensure ive installed wheel properly. The manufacturer has confirmed before that the chainstays are suppose to be symmetrical.

When I received the bike with new frame the wheel appeared aligned so something may have changed since new.

Not going to name the Bike manufacturer - but ive had 6 warranty frame swaps for various issues over the last 2 years. I could probably go them again for this but cant be arsed. I have 28mm tyre clearance on chainstays so don't think ill get tyre rub.

My questions - would the misalignment have a material impact on the performance of the bike? Should I be concerned from a safety point of view? I'm a 90kg big dude. Frame is 860kg's maybe I'm the problem.

cheers,

j
