Hello again Mike,

Noticed something in this image of the rear of the machine you may wish to check on.

https://thecabe.com/forum/attachments/img_4151-jpg.1070126/

The bicycle's rear tubular tyre is sitting well off to the right of centre.

There are three possibles causes for this situation.

a) tubular tyres can sometime "roll" a bit after mounting so they are not centred on the rim

b) the rear triangle of the frame may be out of alignment and in need of examination

c) the rear wheel may be misdished. this is by far the most likely cause. one simple check you can make is to withdraw it and reinsert it backwards so that the gear block is on the left. if the tyre/rim now sit to the left of centre it is the wheel dish. if they sit in the same place as in the photo then the cause is likely the alignment of the rear triangle of the frame.

Riding the cycle as is you may experience a wobble or shimmy at speed. This is something which should be checked for both safety and ridability reasons.
