I reckon I know wtf is going on. It was a Campag build. The wheel still has Campagfuckno end caps on it and so measures wider than Shimano (because why?) and that's pushing the frame a bit wider.
The sooner Campag goes out of business the fucking better.
EDIT, confirmed by Mason
"The Campagnolo N3W freehub is narrower than the standard Shimano, so needs the longer
endcap - which is 2mm longer. This is to allow the smaller 9t & 10t sprockets on the cassette.
The new Shimano Microspline is the same.
It should be one that says E16 on the driveside with a Shimano HG freehub (or Sram XDR)."
I guess no one noticed when the conversion was initially done as it was probably running her other wheels.
