Shimmed it innit. But don't worry, because I've used Ting, which means that my bike will always have a hint of Real Caribbean Grapefruit™
But I've hit another minor snag. My eight-speed Athena rear mech is missing part 3 from the diagram below, meaning that when I install it, there is 1-2mm of lateral movement on the mech hanger. This is bound to affect shifting.
According to this excellent thread on Retrobike (also a Gazelle/Athena), the missing part is a "convex elastic washer"
That bloke managed to track one down. It looks like this.
I haven't even started to think where I'm going to be able to find one.
