With the hanger and SunT, the wheel sits farther up than shown. The wheels are the 27 origs. Tires-27 1 1/4 (32-630) It will never be sold-perhaps in a yard sale someday in the hopefully far far future. Other componenets have been changed, so it is no longer stock. Like the bike-would like better shifting. Have decided not to hack off the hanger. Not my intention to tic people off-it must have been done before-was looking for those opinions on how. BTW-thanks for the offer on the dr-but I'll sort this out.
It won't hurt it for another Simplex install, but - as I emphasized before - threading the hanger will do nothing to allow the Suntour to work. The adjuster screw will not work as a stop if reversed, and it won't work if removed. It
just won't. Period. See my previous post for the explanation as to why this is the case.

P.S.: Post a photo of your hanger. There is no reason for the hanger to shove the wheel any further forward than the spacer that was there before it.
