Alright, I need a sanity check here. I thought I was going nuts until I called WB tech support and verified my suspicions: the only way to center the goddam wheel between the fork legs is to dish the wheel ~15mm to the right (non-disk) side of the hub. I was assured this wouldn't compromise the strength of the front wheel, but... I've never had to dish a front wheel to get it to run centered, and this seems a rather poor solution to what seems to be stupid legacy issue.
According to the tech I talked to this is somthing WB addressed for '06, meaning you no longer need to dish the wheel to get it to run centered. Which leads me to think that, despite assurances to the contrary, having to dish the wheel (IMHO) excessively is indeed not only a pain and stupid, but also a strength issue...
Anyone have experience with later-model WB DH forks and dishing the wheel? I'm a little hesitant to muck up my Outlaw wheelset before I'm certain that re-dishing as much as seems needed won't line me up for Taco City a short distance down the road.
Thanks!
