Front wheel is not aligned and touching the brake line
Bicycles Asked on July 25, 2020
On my bike the front wheel is not centered below the handlebars, instead it seems to be more on the left side. Weirdly that’s also the side where the disk brake is located and the wheel is touching the brake line.
How can this be fixed?
It’s a Cube Travel Pro, recently bought from a private seller, so no guarantee.

First thing to do is loosen the quick release and make sure the wheel axles are seated all the way in the dropouts. If the left axle was not all the way in it would pull the top of the wheel to the left.
If the wheel is in the dropouts properly I have to conclude the wheel is built incorrectly, with the rim offset to the left. The hub does not seem shifted left and the disc rotor is aligned with the caliper. If the hub were shifted left as far as the rim you would not be able to adjust the caliper properly.
