While fitting new pads on the back wheel on my Trek Hybrid I noticed a small out-of-true in just one spot, causing a brake to drag without making an allowance for it.
It's (factory built) bontrager low-ish spoke count wheel. If it was a regular wheel I wouldn't feel too nervous of tightening the opposite spoke(s) a little to pull it back, but never touched these wheels before.
Should I be able to adjust this myself, or should take it to someone with a rig who does this for a living (or just ignore it) ?

Why not just try adjusting it?
I have no experience of low spoke-count wheels, but the Mavic pdfs explain procedures for their low spoke-count wheels and the principles are the same as for a normal wheel as far as I can see.
You might find the obvious spoke actually feels a bit loose.
Is it on the drive side that it's hitting the brake?
