Hi everyone, I’m looking for a quick sanity check on my rear wheel installation. I have a Bontrager Race Lite wheelset and I recently had the wheel bearings replaced. Everything (the axle, frame, and dropouts) is exactly the same as it was before the service, but now I’m not sure if the axle looks right. It seems to protrude about 2-3mm on the non-drive side. The wheel feels solid with no play/wobble, and it spins freely. I've been riding this setup for a long time, but I can't remember if it always looked like this or if I'm just overthinking it now. Is this 2-3mm protrusion normal for this hub after a bearing service, or should it be sitting deeper in the dropout? Just want to make sure everything is safe before I go for a ride. Thanks for the help!
