Default Wheel alignment?


Wheel alignment off will this be an issue?
Rims were just put on the bike, tire was on the rim already, so could the tire have been put on the rim backwards?

Take a good pic showing the hub right where it meets the brake rotor.
(this is for wheel identification purposes)

I remembered you had posted a pic of your wheel in another thread





Look a the casting surface here (below)




See Below...Does it look like the top photo or a machined surface like the lower photo? (i think it's the top...yes?)

I originally was thinking you had a 03-06 softail wheel which would cause the symptons you describe, but after seeing your wheel in the pic I posted and then your following confirming pics, that doesn't seem to be the case.

How bout a good pic showing how centered the brake rotor is within the caliper

Does it look centered to you?

Not sure if this is what you were talking about? I went on a ride after the rain here, found some nice dry wet spots and rode through to check my tracking. It was straight?

Hard for me to see from where I sit...Does it looked centered?
Use your pistons as a reference
