Tyre rubbing against the frame
Hi Guys,
I have an argon 18 E118 2014 and I'm using a Zipp super 9 clincher rear wheel. The 25mm tyre was rubbing against one of the sides of the frame when I was moving the bike side to side. So I've decided to swap to a 23mm, the problem didn't go away. Does anyone know what's wrong? (The wheel is tightly fixed) the weird thing is, is that this is happening in only 1 side.
Thanks

It is centered, the wheel will move and touch the frame if I move it side to side with a lot of force. (The link to the picture is above the quote)

Wheel looks centered at the seat stays. Is it centered at the chainstays too? Is this a wheel you've had for awhile that just started rubbing or a new wheel that's rubbed the entire time you owned it? Is it only rubbing when you stand and really push hard by leaning the bike? How much do you weigh?

That's what happens when you buy a wheel from walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Zipp-Supe...&wl13=&veh=sem

While that's a tight clearance, it's not unusually so. Personally, I'd try another wheel and see if it's the frame that's flexing enough to cause it to touch, or the wheel. If you don't have a spare, you can likely ask a bike shop to let you borrow a beater wheel for a little bit to see what happens.

Really, just take it into a shop. They should be able to tell you in a minute as to what's going on.
