Na, you misread what I had said. I haven't had a frame alignment check, not using the "machine" that is used at least. By looking at the bike the rear wheel sits in the dropouts like it should. I'm questioning the frame alignment though and wandering if that can cause premature wheel failure. I know from prior experience with one of my former bikes that either an out of true wheel or a frame misalignment can cause you to have to replace the frame after rubbing a hole in the chainstay. Been there, done that 4 years ago or so. I had always been use to having an out of true wheel rub on the brakes, which it wasn't. But unless I cocked the wheel in the dropout it wouldn't run straight...so I'm still not sure which the real cause of that frame failure was, frame misalignment or out of true wheel. I know more recently I have had a wheel come out of true and it was trying to rub another hole in the chainstay. Got that wheel trued back up and the problem was solved and I had to start asking the question about what happened before.
