• Sounds like something went a little off with the cold setting.

  • what happened was that I thought the frame was 130 spaced but when I put a wheel in i realised it was 126. The wheel was misaligned at the brake bridge about the same as now - when jammed in - but also when doing the string test with no wheel the rear dropouts were out of alignment with the frame - so I thought by re spacing the rear and getting it aligned with the seat tube correctly it would fix the issue - but it didn’t - why the old wheel aligns better is weird too - I think it may be down to the locknuts being smaller allowing the wheel angle to be less influenced by potentially wonky dropouts. The eastons have larger flat axle caps which contact more of the dropout. Dunno - have ordered dropout alignment tool - if that doesn’t work I’ll need to find an LBS or frame builder to look at it.
