Title: Gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Dingobmxer on August 01, 2006, 09:07 PM: Just been trying to build my OS ride for the racing at MK but when I took the rear wheel out someone had opened the dropouts out to about 17mm and neither a 14mm axle wheel or 10mm axle wheel will fit safely >:(
So it looks like new school run what ya brung for me then but I was REALLY looking forward to a blast in the OS class :( >:( :(
:) DINGO :)

I am gonna look for some washers today so fingers crossed I can sort it (note to self do NOT leave things to the last minute lol)
