Kalibur Rear Triangle After Crash Can't Post
I finally got around to closely checking my Kuota Kalibur over for damage following my crash a month ago. I haven't noticed cracks at all, but I was a little surprised to see an offset in the rear triangle. There seems to be about a 5 mm difference between the DS and NDS. I don't recall seeing this before. I checked this with 2 perfectly dished wheels and it was the same for each one. Is this normal? I wouldn't be surprised to see this on an aluminum or steel frame after a crash, but carbon fiber doesn't bend [scratching head in confusion]. Anyway, I'm taking the frame to the LBS where I bought it to have them look it over. Thanks!

Curse of the napoleon!


Problem could be on the wheel, check the horizantal screws if they are both at the same lenght then check the axle on the wheel.

Horizontal screws? The Kalibur has vertical dropouts.
