Ok, I know why my new Tuffs wont fit my '83 Supergoose f 'n' f. The bastid axle is too large in diameter and fookin long to boot. >:(
But what can I do about it? Just replace the axles? Is this a common fix? :-\
Obviously I wont be doing myself, I broke a sweat just fitting the headset today. :uglystupid2:
Looked in resto stickies and couldnt see this topic covered.

is it just the front wheel? if so just file a couple of flats on the axle where it goes into the drop outs dont file the forks
remember axles are cheap and plentiful goose forks arent :daumenhoch:

Can't see why they would be too big in diameter - did skyway do and 14mm sets ?
the length is a prob on the new ones ::)
i can sell you a kit which is shorter and won't stick out - (you need just to check the lengh to rear drop out space)
also have the 10mm/8mm flat side axle kits as well ;)

Responded in the appropriate thread.
I guess I could try filing them but Im trying to put off the introduction of hammers, sawing or filing equipment for as long possible. :uglystupid2:
