Regarding my lack of clearence, there 23mm tyres. I don't really want to go less then that for London roads. In the above photo, there is no clearence, the wheel won't actually go around. To actually make the bike rideable I have to apply the exceptionaly dodgy and dangerous "Ol' bit of papper" trick.
As shown below:
Bolt the hub in bloody tight, then pull out the papper. I don't recomend anyone doing this. The consequences of the hub slidding up the dropouts would be horrendous.
