Wheel not sitting straight in rear dropouts

    Hi,

    I noticed when I'm putting my rear wheel back on to the bike after a clean that it doesn't sit straight in the rear dropouts. It leans to one side and so I have to push it level with my hand before I tighten the quick release. I tested the dropouts with another wheel and they slotted in perfectly level.

    Anything i can check for to diagnose the issue? found some references that implies it could be out of dish?

    Jon

    I had the same problem, couldn't understand what was wrong....brought it to a buddy who's a mechanic...and it was that the dish was out.... Happens a lot with factory based wheels like mavics or shimano!! Very easily fixed and no problem since!!

    Yeah it's a fulcrum racing 7. I've been going through some pretty rough roads on my morning commute the last 4-5 weeks. This would have caused it. Will drop it to my LBS and get their view.
