I failed The do is really FAT. Got a longer attach bolt/ also turned the adj screw around for the stop-piled up washers to attach (on the out side of the main bolt-as the bolt would need be cut in half) went to put the wheel in and the qr axle was too short--also the hanger gave me less room on the tire between the stays/like a hairs breath. 700c wheels would probably do it/or low profile 27's if there is such a thing. Kaching....$$$! It could work with a short main bolt and 700c wheels. Reattached the old one. I'll wait for it to break, then just tap it for the suntour (less evasive and cheapest alternative) Just an old bike-not a showpiece or anything; but saved from extinction as it is. Thanks for the think tank.
