axle half out of the dropouts
Pretty sure that's not being proposed. The lawyer lips are in the way, but the thickness of a spoke won't see the nuts going past them.
Also, I'm having a hard time picturing how precession could apply in the absence of a load circling around... or were you just being facetious?
just being facetious?
Only partially. Nuts can unwind when there's a cyclic bending load on the male thread, it doesn't have to be a full circle.
The main point is to get a tyre and fork combination which work together without having to do anything sketchy.
