I have a new P3 and also a new set of Enve 6.7 tubs with PowerTap G3. I have never ridden carbon wheels before. If I lift the back wheel and spin the wheel seems perfectly true. When riding I am getting a constant sound of what I am pretty sure is brake rub. I took the wheel out and I can't see any marks from the tyre rubbing the frame.
If I grab the top of the wheel I can wiggle it a few mm - lateral flex. That is enough to touch one of the pads. I am assuming this is happening when I ride because my weight is causing the wheel to flex? I am a big rider, 6'5'' tall and 210lbs. It happens all the time, not just climbing or sprinting.
I just popped it on the turbo and tried opening the brake but I couldn't get it to make a sound either way. Assuming the turbo is taking most of the weight and the wheel flexes less. I need to ride it on the road with the brake open, can't do that this minute as its dark where I am.
Is this normal flex and is it a case of fiddling with the pad position as much as possible to get rid of it or just having to put up with it (robbing me of watts though)?
