Hey, thanks for this!

Mine has the 5.5" wheel, and no shim.
Since I live on a dusty road, every night when I get home I seee that the dust "stripe" is offset towards the left dide of the wheel centerline (by a very small ammount).

I was assuming that I am missing a shim (for the 5.5") that, once installed betweeen the rim and FD, would bring the wheel back to center.

Also, my rear brake disc is grooved so bad it's scary! Possibly this is from the offset?

PP Forum rocks, no way could I figure this bike out without you guys!


edit: bike rides fine, wheelies at will, pulls right with no hands on the bars...
