I really like the seat & weight of the miyata, but IMO this is one of the
negative features. Because the fork is so narrow, there is little room for error
in alignment. Once the spokes get weak and/or break then you need to have the
wheel realigned otherwise the tire will rub against the fork. When aligning the
tire after taking it apart, I place those plastic tire removers between the fork
& tire & tighten the bolts. This helps me tighten the bolts evenly.
