I have a front wheel in the form of a 26" rim built to a Halo track hub but the spacing is too small for the forks on my mtb conversion I'm building. The drop outs fit very neatly either side of the axle nuts.
Arghhh.
I knew the rear forks were different sizes but was obviously a right numpty to think that it wouldn't be the same for the front. I did do a search before purchase of the wheel [it was a bargain and maybe this is why] but couldn't find any info on it so presumed there would be no issue with this, albeit wrongly :(
I can't find info on the net about this so would love some advice... Is there any way I can use this wheel by putting another nut or spacers on the axle? The axle length is long enough to enable this...
Thanks in advance :$
