Hi all,
I've recently been enjoying getting back out on my '96 Explosif, but had forgotten just how badly out of alignment the rear end is. The picture below hopefully gives an idea of the scale of the problem. Believe it or not, the brakes are properly centred with respect to the rim! In its current state I can't use the largest sprocket on the rear as the derailleur cage rubs on the spokes if I do.
The wheels were built in a friend's workshop, I've been back there to double check and he demonstrated to me that the wheel is dished correctly and that it's the frame that's out of whack.
I'd be grateful for any advice anyone can offer. If cold setting is the answer, would anyone have a recommendation of someone in the London area who would undertake such a job?
Cheers!
Matthew
