The rear wheel was dished for a 5 speed freewheel: the spacer was discarded and an over-length spindle fitted to replace the original which had damaged threads. Another pair of wheel nuts allowed the chain line to be sorted with a spanner – I’ll probably machine a pair of spacers when I’m convinced it’s correct, and then cut off the excess spindle length. Once the chain looked right I re-dished (un-dished?) the wheel to centre it on the frame.
