Ok so the drop out is 2.5/8 of an inch, the axle is 3/8 of an inch (no mm rule around). Which is about 7.9 mm for the drop out and 9.5 mm for the axle.. Now obviously there is some rounding error here, but there is only about a mm that I need to cut out! Ok, so why not a new fork, well I spent all this time painting my old fork that it would be quitting and I am not made of money, plus My fork is sexy! Ok, so give me some advice on how to dremel it out... if you still don't believe me go to my website... http://briandrwecki.com/bike.aspx and look at the pictures of the axle... I took them just for you guys.
