I’ve run into a snag with my stupid MGOOF project and while I’ve already had some good advice on it a bit more won’t hurt. The problem is that the dropout slots on my niceish chrome forks are something less than 0.5mm shy of 9mm and therefore these hubs (early 2000s Chorus) don’t really fit. What’s the best course of action? Just ram it in? New hub with a threaded section as opposed to solid? File something?
Just sloppy manufacturing, file the dropouts and thank the lord you aren't dealing with British Lightweights and their 5/16" front axles. It was probably fine with threaded axles as 9mm male threads are less than 9mm major diameter
