My bikes all built up and looking pretty good, but... The rear wheel is about 1/2 inch to far to the right. I would just put the spacer on the other side which would fix it but the the roter would be rubbing the adapter. Does any one have a secrets on how to fix, quick, like before sea otter. I think i need a new hub...

dish your wheel correctly via nipple turnage
but yeah, if you didnt know that dont go ahead and do it yourself cuz mr. sea otter will have you riding a crumpled wheel in like 2 minutes. bring it to a shop real quick

You put a regular hub in an assymetrical swingarm. The giant takes a zero dish wheel. It should cost you more than $15 to fix

Hopefully it can be dished enough with the existing spokes but it is possible that you need to relace the wheel. The former should be under $25 and the latter more like $40-50. I'd recommend Spokesman or ABS here in SC as they are both very knowledgable.

The bike in my opinion needs a taller handlebar. My bike handled like poo when I tried to go that low. It felt better to me when it was taller. So if the handling is weird give some taller bars a try otherwise nice bike.
