I was not in the same city as my ride for most of this thread so could not instantly check out the wheel alignment. Today however I was off to the flea market so made the time to first check out my ride. First off I spun the wheel to try and see how true the rim was. If looking at a still focal point like a brake pad is a good indicator then the rim was definitely weaving in and out.
So as advised I reversed the wheel in the drop outs and spun it again. This time when it spun one brake pad would rub again and again. I checked out the wheel alignment as far as the handlebars go. It looked off the same amount in the same direction.
But lo and behold when I returned the wheel to its original direction the misalignment was almost not noticeable.
To me that means the axle had been wrenched in the D.O.s or something else perhaps even more drastic.
But my ride runs very well. I think getting the wheel trued couldn't hurt then see where to go from there.
Have a great rest of your Sunday.😉
