    Could do with some advice please
    Front brake - no clearance for any of the calipers I have - any ideas?
    No clearance for my mudguards is frustrating.
    Originally would have had 120mm spaced wheels - these are 126mm. Is it fine to just tighten them and ride them? I was told that spacers would slip.

    From this

    It looks as though there are quite a lot of spacers on the axle, can you remove some to get back to 120mm? If not then I wouldn't see there being much issue with running them at 126 and spreading the frame slightly to fit them in.

  • Not sure what you mean: wouldn't removing the spacers not solve it, by creating more of a gap between the axle and the dropouts? It rides fine so I think I'll just leave it, cheers
