Hi folks,
I have a pair of older Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels that have been lying around since I bought them with a frame over three years (they're a fair bit older than that though). I decided to use them to build my GF's bike, and noticed that the rear rim was noticeably off-centre towards the drive-side. I checked it on the wheel stand, flipping it through 180 degrees and indeed it's off-centre by a good few mm - enough to be problematic if running wide tyres on a reasonably close clearance frame. I'll post some photos later after I get home and get the wheel back on the jig.
Does anyone know if there's a simlpel way of re-centreing a Ksyrium, using spacers for example? Or will it require re-dishing? It must have been like this since I got it, and I only just noticed! :roll:
Cheers,
Gareth.
