Hi everyone,
Not sure if this should be in the Mechanics section or here, sorry.

Just an update for anyone who is interested. I took the bike back and left it for the Giant rep to have a look at and was called back that afternoon. As expected the Giant rep said it was fine.

Was also told that I could spend $10,000 on a bike and have the same problem. I was wondering if it is acceptable for a rear wheel on a new bike to have to be adjusted, so it is central, before being clamped tight. On my previous bike, which was stolen , I would just put the wheel fully into the dropouts and tighten the quick release, no messing about required.

I have tried the 'String test' and the frame appears straight so I think the slots in the rear dropouts must be different depths so that when the wheel is inserted fully it sits on an angle.

The rear brake still feels like it is 'pulsing' but it is better than it was now that I have the wheel clamped in central. The rotor dosnt seem warped, any ideas?



Scott.
