Cube one 55 tyre rubbing on seat stays.

[Gilbo]

Hi
Has anyone heard of cube fitting modified seat stays to the early one 55 models to stop tyre rubbing on it.

I wonder if the spoke tensions need to be adjusted a bit to centre the wheel between the seat stay and chain stay?

(Or wide tire, missing washers, bent rim etc).

The tension(of the spokes) is usually different between the drive side and non-drive side. Changing the spoke tension could pull the wheel into alignment. ( I could be over-thinking this though).

Is the tyre the same size that came with the bike, or have you fitted a wider one?

Hi
Yeah original tyre only done 400 miles. I’ve seen 2 other bikes with same issue and demo bike at LBS is the same.

I´ve a friend riding one . Spoke to him recently and he told me he is aplaying/replacing often inner protection to prevent scratching seat stays, but no other issues.
