Thats a bit risky tho  ??? you can't be that precise with the ol'grinder - as you pointed out Dan I'd only ever do it on solid axles to be honest.

kev-s:
why not take the forks out to 14mm if there is enough meat on the dropouts?

Hellcat:
There's not. The drop outs are pretty slim.

I'll see if the bike shop can sort out an axle & bearings, if not, just wait for the right cheapish wheel to come along.

TwoBobRob:
I'd be taking the grinder to the forks. It's only 2mm either side.

Stick a photo of the forks up, let's have a look.
