Question for Scott CR1 owners...
Maybe this is a really dumb question, but I need the peace of mind, so here it goes.
While I was trying to put on my GSC-10 yesterday, I noticed that the rim and tire of my rear wheel on the non-drive side tracked very close to the chain stay on that side, while on the other side there was a lot more room. I realize with the cassette on the opposite side that that creates a difference, but I guess I thought the frame would be designed to compensate for that, making the spacing more uniform. Is this a design feature of the SDS? Do you also see this? I never noticed this on my old Trek, but I'm not used to looking at those wide, flat chain stays.

I've also noticed the same thing on my 09 CR1. Its closer to the non drive side by about 5mm. I was thinking that it might have been caused by an out-of-true wheel since some of my spokes are visibly bent but now i see that someone else has this problem too.
Which model year is your cr1?

Mine is a 2011 Pro. After reading the responses here I pulled the rear wheel off and remounted it and now it seems to be evenly spaced within the chain stays. My guess is that I did not have the skewer seated fully in the dropout on the frame. Thanks everyone, for causing me to take a second look at it!
