Hello everyone,
Recently wanted to challenge myself to build a bike. So I picked up a stripped 2018-2020 Cannondale Trail 5 frame off fb marketplace. Bike did not have anything but the forks and handle bars. With research (after already buying the frame) figured out the rear dropouts fit a 141*9 QR, so I had to order a new rim and hub to fit it. Once all together I realized the rear wheel seemed out of alignment with the wheel favoring the brake side. Im thinking the frame/dropouts are bent or misaligned considering the hub/rim/wheel are brand new.
Should I ride it as is? Tire doesn't rub and seems to track well. No problem riding no hands down a hill.
Will I trash my new hub riding with a bent frame/dropout?
Should I trash the frame?
Thanks yall

Without putting a tool to it, there is no real way to tell, but let me ask, is the wheel dished correctly, and is it an offset rim?
