DT Swiss Hub Problem

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

DT Swiss Hub Problem

New Mavic OP wheel set with DT Swiss hubs. Clincher+rim brakes.

Odd thing about rear hub is the non-drive side seems to be too long. The drive side wheel comes closer to chain stays than non-drive side. And I'm centering it as best I can. Vertical dropouts so nothing to adjust. My other wheels are fine it's just the DT Swiss.

Am I missing something?

Your problem is not entirely clear. If the rim is closer to the drive side, then the problem is the wheel's dish -- which is easily corrected by any decent bike shop. Though since you describe the wheel as "new," you should probably return it to the seller. (This answer assumes nothing wrong with your bike's frame alignment and such.)

Is that the issue?

Agree with Koyote, sounds like the "dish" is incorrect. I'd return it to the bike shop and have the fix. Easily done.

I reversed rear wheel and the problem moves to non-drive side so definitely the wheel.

I'll take to an LBS tomorrow and have it re-dished and trued.
