I've got the box bike; I need a bike box. Got the wheel back on. Didn't fix a darn thing. Finish buttoning it back up maybe tomorrow & let Zabor try to align it next week.

>Didn't fix a darn thing.

I have a hard time figuring out how the tire and swingarm can be out or parallel unless the swingarm has been bent in some way. Your postings on the AVA board have left me more perplexed than helpful.

If it isn't bent, I think it has to be something at the rear axle. The swingarm bearings can't change the relationship between the tire and the swingarm. They can only allow the tire to track off of center (because the swingarm isn't straight with the frame. Wheel bearings could be the culprit if the side rubbing is out of tolerance, but I would think that would cause a grease leak.

Keep us posted.
