Re: KH Moment Cranks, Q, and body twist


Okay, so I was thinking the wheel was centered at the top of the frame
because I have brakes and the wheel was spinning straight through them
(like I was using the pads for checking how true they were). But when I
went back out with my calipers and measured rim-to-frame distance, they
were off by a little more than 3 mm. So I think it *is* a case of the
frame being slightly short in one leg, and I'll give the shimming
treatment a try and see what that does.

Thanks again for the tip--I wouldn't have thought to measure there,
since it *looked* like it was already centered. The brakes, it turns
out, kind of hindered my ability to observe, since I was focused on the
relationship of the rim to the pads, not to the side of the frame.
