Having some issues with the tracking of the front wheel on my steel frame.
If I loose the QR and pop the wheel in it sits dead straight in the fork, nicely aligned at the crown and centre of the front rack. Tighten the QR and it stays there, as you would expect.
However after about half a mile of riding it will shift towards the non drive side so that the tyre tread is almost rubbing on the inside of the fork crown. I can reseat it as described above, and make the QR even tighter than it needs to be but the problem still presents.
For context it's a new front wheel, new rotor, new disc caliper. Penny for your thoughts?
