Im assuming It has been like that sense the crash, and just have not noticed. If that’s the case I have put over a hundred miles on it and it’s been fine. Worst case I break a spoke tomorrow.

If it's rubbing pretty badly, like dragging the wheel to a stop, then re-center as described by genejockey - if the wife isn't around to hold the brake lever for you, find a rubber band to hold the lever while you snug the caliper.
If it's kissing the pads pretty lightly, just re-set the pistons when you have the wheel out. Put a thin blade/lever between the pads and give it a twist to push the pistons back in to the caliper a little. Firm but slow - you're pushing fluid out of the caliper and all the way back up the line to the reservoir in the hoods. When you pop the wheel back on, you'll have to pump the lever a few times to get the pistons/pads back in position, but they should re-center on their own.

Thanks for all the advice and help. I suck at multi quoting so not even going to try.

Or you can send me the bike (new wheels included) and I will see to its proper disposal.. At a minimal charge.

Went for a nice tramp (hike) on the weekend. Interesting weather. It was really hot and fine on Saturday. Sunday started cool and overcast, progressed to cool rain with side order of wind and then cleared up and became fine and warm for the last half hour. I drank over 3 litres of water on Saturday and only 1.25 litres on Sunday.
Good trip though. Got to tick another hut off my list.
typical old musterers hut.

Came home and caught up on the America's Cup challenger series racing. American Magic had a spectacularly bad day. Luckily all the sailors are ok. Their boat, not so much. At least it is still afloat, just.
