• wondering if left like so it’ll kill me?

    You're still left with a lock nut up against the cone? It will be fine on that side of the dropout, but beware of the QR bottoming out on the axle which might now be poking outside the dropout face. You can dial in the exact OLN with spacers/washers/shims between the cone and locknut.

  • Ah, took a picture (always a good idea)
    Bit dark, but from the left, inwards…
    The qr lever, a serrated washer (2mm), the first lock nut (8mm, which I’ve just threaded onto the right of the dropout so I don’t loose the blimming thing), dropout, thin steel washer, inner locknut
    The on the DS, the mech hanger
