Cheers - but seems a bit much for some 1mm washers?
So am I right in thinking the cartridge bearings don't actually need any screw-on parts (the locknuts above) to hold them in?

pack of 10 m10 washers from screwfix for 69p?

The nuts aren't to hold the bearings in place, but to prevent them being overloaded when you secure the wheel in the frame: without them too much lateral force could be applied to the bearing.
