Wheel is still aligned. It ended up not mattering much. The 42/16 spot isn’t really in the part that was modified and in the few mm I have to work with it is actually pretty good. I could at most go to the next position, such as a 42/15. Turns out the rearward part is irrelevant because the U-brake would not function.
