Boll%&ks was thinking as much!

In this case will it fit better using a SRAD axle?

helps a lot mate

My axle nut is also 57 but the spacing between the spacers when its fitted in with both ends flush (no wheel) is about 127- 128mm.

Therefore as I must have a SARD wheel if I get a SARD axle I should have the same measurments as you belowand thus me wheel will fit????

He's right you know. Quite embarrassed I didn't notice that, I've been viewing this thread with increasing confusion

I've often seen it said on SV Rider that there's no danger from simply centring the wheel and tightening the pinch bolts with the axle sticking out at either end. I wouldn't do it, myself, but thought that might be worth mentioning.

So a SRAD axle and the same nut should sort my issue with the axle??

May have to stick a washer behind the calipers to space them a few mm from reading elsewhere.

IIRC the axle nut is the same for SRAD and K1> so the spacing will be the same whichever you use. I think i'd go for getting the axle turned down to fit as posted earlier.

Would getting the right wheel not be the fix? I know, not exactly cheap or quick but seems like it's only the hub width that's giving you problems.

Would getting a SRAD axle not be the easist method rather than a new wheel, now the wheel is the right colour , etc???? Nothing else should be affected?

Looking at measurments above the axle should give me the extra width to accomadate the wider hub?
