I bought a Gravity 29er hardtail with generally xt grade components. First bike the rear wheel rode closer to frame on the non drive side. Sent first bike back and got another slightly different Gravity 29er hardtail a little bit of upgrade on rims and shock. Bike #2 has the exact same problem. It is not dishing or truing of the rim. When I put a 2.2 tire on there is only 1/8" clearance from tire to frame on non drive side and if wheel looses true at all it will rub. I think that if I get two bikes with the same problem that there must be an manufacturer defect that wasn't caught. I have ask Larry at bike direct if there is a defect with this bike and have received no answer. I do like Larry though and he has been very helpful, but I want an answer. Anyone had same problem?
