I have already built a couple of wheels using my track frame and a keen eye to sort out the dishing, with great success.
Now I'm building a new set to go on a Raleigh road frame, so I though I'd just use that rather than take my wheels off the track frame. Got the rim sitting nice and true in the frame at the rear, took it off, flipped it round, put it back in and it was about 5-10 mil off to the left. So I'm guessing that this means my frame (which has been used for fixed before, having been purchased off a relible member of this forum) is slightly curved.
The question is, should I dish the wheel so the rim is central to the hub, or would it be better to dish it so that the rim is central to the frame? I realise theat if I do the latter, then I won't be able to flip it, but then I don't intend to.
Your wise and learned input would be much appreciated.
