Agreed. Turned out well.

My only question is i just spaced the entire wheel over so i can have a good chain alignment. It works but the tire is close to the driveside chainstay. Can i just leave it or will i eventually have to re-dish ?
Oh yea 52/16 in an area with no hills at all is pretty fun. I can slow up easily and crank it and get to a pretty good clip.

Bingo. If you don't want to risk it, a shop can probably do it for $20 or so. Maybe more.
