Thats how mine is as well.. at first I thought it was awesome, I love ultra tight tolerances in product design. Then I just couldnt get the thought out of my mind, what would happen If for any reason my wheel becomes 2 or more mm out of true? Would it just jam and toss me over the bars? Also tire rub will quickly eat through paint and clear coat into the carbon. I think im to big of a pansy to leave mine like that.
This.
There's more room on the sides than there is on top. We also have different forks.

Mines tight enough that if I max inflate to 115 it rubs a lil bit. If I take it down 5-10psi it clears. You guys are probably right. I just get worried about weird **** like that.

Fresh Dodici build. (9mm Size S)
Shadow Cons.
Chain, headset, BB, 30t sprock, clear grips
Endzone saddle
Origin8 post
Crank Bros Pedals
Hoffman Fat Free Bars.
I consider the stem mine since I refinished it by scraping it on a brick.
Cheapest purple cranks on earth (J&B)
Built the wheels myself Origin8 hubs, Champion spokes, Alex ESDV25 32mm wide AM rims. 32-4x FTW
I had a plan for a brake, which did not work out. It skids like a dream, in the saddle or standing up. I'm not strong enough to KEEP it skidding unless I am over the bars, but it would't take squats, just practice. I'm gonna sell it tho. I'm sure I would kill myself.
Enjoy!

Updated the Dolan Pre Cursa with a new longer stem and got some longer headset spacers to cut the number in half. This bike is a real blast to ride.
