Got my new Orbea this week and have been giving it a bit of a hammering over the last few days. However, yesterday the funky looking Gipiemme wheel on the back of the bike starting rubbing slightly on the brake block under load (i.e. when I'm climbing or pedalling hard). It's a bit hard to describe, like the wheel is distorting slightly when it's being worked hard. I've tried leaning on the saddle to determine which way it's distorting but it isn't obvious. I sort-of assumed the wheels would dorito a little bit in the first week, but it's annoying nonetheless.
There are bugger all spokes on this wheel, and I'm not confident about re-tensioning it myself (so I'll be taking it back to the LBS for a quick look) but I don't want to turn into a "new bike whinger". Is anybody else familiar with these wheels and how to tension them properly so they don't distort under load?
