Thanks @HousecatHST!
The axle itself is long enough to allow the wheel locking nuts to fit on, that isn't a problem. I'm just considering what I can put in between the hub and the frame - I feel as if spacers would still allow the wheel to move about?
The wheel is a flip-flop hub - how would I adjust the chain line at all without having to re-dish the wheel?

Hi guys - got a problem and wondering if anyone could help.
I am building a real beater up and the back wheel I have is about 1cm too narrow for the frame/dropouts - the axle is long enough but the hub has about 0.5cm of space either side before the dropout. This means that if you were to tighten the nuts up fully the dropouts would not be properly aligned and I doubt they would hold the wheel in place properly.
Can I put washers between the hub and frame? Or would it be better to wind a nut onto the axle to fill this gap, as I could "lock" it against the hub and stop any further movement? Or, am I fucked and have to buy a new wheel?
I would do this but trying to keep this as low cost as possible as the bike will probably not survive a year locked up outside the pub.
PS: if anyone has a 25.4 quill stem in any length for around £5 I would be very grateful!!
Cheers

I have a ratty 58cm ST, 56cm TT Falcon Olympic frame...
I think it is 531, it has wrap-around stays and other nice features. Let me know if you're interested and I can post photos when home.
