TCR Advanced 1 - Rear wheel Seriously Dished?
Hi there,
I recently purchased the above bike and have noticed that the rear wheel is seriously close to the frame. Initially, I spoke to the dealer and they said the frame was assymetrical. I went for a second opinion and the store used a wheel dishing gauge and said the wheel was 'out of dish'
Do you concur? Here is a picture... http://tinypic.com/r/2h5uw60/9
Thank you,
Karl

You were lucky not to get frame damage with that. Looks like the clearance is getting better on the TCR's. My 2015 Pro2 has the tyre a lot closer to the frame and would have struggled to get the wheel in that much out of true!
Hi Guys,
I took it back to the store today and it was certainly 'out of dish', they also tightened the gear cables as well, as they had stretched a little.
The wheel is now centered.
Thank you.
If the bike was 'recently purchased' why isn't the dealer/store wheel dishing at no charge as part of their customer service/support?
The wheel doesn't even look straight in the frame, never mind off-centred.
The pic makes it look as if it is tending toward the chainset/cranks. Does the wheel spin freely.
I have a 2016 Defy Adv 2 and although the non drive side chainstay is assymetric (due to the disc brake) the wheel is dead centre - see below (note the manky bike - my bad)

Assuming the hub is sitting in the drop-outs correctly and that it's like that all the way around then yes, definitely. I have a 2015 carbon Defy and yes, the frame is asymmetrical around the drop-outs but the wheel is perfectly centred between the seat stays.
