Took mine to a local engineer cut all 4 axels shorter and filed the front-job done £5

you got a bargain sweetbeats

just took my axles to a local engineer to shorten mine - he said 'oh they won't take long' and I handed em to him
should have asked him how much before instead of after - when I asked him he told me 'about 15 quid'

next time will find someone back home in brum to do it! bet it would be a lot cheaper
ah well at least I'll have my wheels sorted soon!

hi dave

not too far off now mate - sorted for most bits now but need to wait for the haro chainring to arrive from thailand so I can see what condition it's in - apparently it's made of duralumin. buzzing though as I'm so close!!!

still looking for a pair of those SE axle washers though - can't find any apart from vertego (managed to avoid so far so still holding out for any other source)

hpw's things with you? started any more projects?
