Yes, I followed the rear wheel removal guide studiously, to make sure I got all the pieces back in place correctly. Am certain I'm not missing a spacer.
But, yes, the wheel was off-center before I changed the tube. But it wasn't rubbing against the frame. So I guess it's just a tire mounting issue. Will deflate and try again.
As for the wheel being off-center, I wonder if it's the frame itself that needs to be adjusted? But it's an aluminum frame, so not sure it can be.
Of course, I could always just add a washer to the near side to push the wheel over a bit. Do you see any issue with that?
