Why do I have a 1-2cm gap when tightening up the forks? Do I need to whack in some spacers on the inside i.e. couple of thin nuts either side or are you meant to force the forks tighter in this way?

I keep a selection of nuts of various thickness to go between the cone and the fork, a little amount of fork movement is fine, 1-2cm is too much

I think you're right, the wheels are a pretty good example considering age, I'm probably being too demanding of them as I also own a set of Brand New Tuff II's!
