• Yeah, 32mm marathons on 19mm internal rims wouldn’t fit - the tyre was just brushing on one side as the wheel dishing was slightly off. I was thinking there’s a chance that if I dished the wheel correctly then I’d manage with 30s. But not certain and I’d rather not go to the effort and cost to find it doesn’t work.

    The alternative is to swap the fork - salsa do a steel calliper fork with clearance, but I don’t have any specs for the alpina fork the fxe came with to compare it with the salsa.

  • I think the Alpina track fork is far tighter. It’s shorter axle-crown.

    Do you have a spoke key? Unless the front wheel is at very high tension (or the nipples have seized or something) then it should be quite simple to dish the wheel yourself. Just go round doing quarter turns with the key.
