I'm getting a new frame and hoping to fit big tyres on the front. The forks can take a maximum of 40c, however I have heard that with the use of some metal tab the axle can be placed slightly lower in the dropout. This would then enable a bigger tyre to fit.
The problem is, I have no idea what they are actually called, and where to get them from. I have a pic below:

Please tell me if you have any information at all on these 'axle tabs'??
