ok well tommorow im gonna file down the axle bolt, ive gotten some contrary info but Qui audet adipiscitur I suppose. If it doesnt work and I burn my axle ill just go to punch to get a new one. Id rather do that than get the dropouts filed.

trip report tommorow.

That's just a bad idea. Don't be impatient and do it right. If you go early in the morning tomorrow chances are you can be riding by the evening.

bike mechanic = someone who knows what they are doing and won't do irrepairable damage to your bike.

I'm surprised that 110mm axles are too thick for 110mm dropouts. Take it to a shop (Kalavinka?) and get them to look at it.

I also hope the axle nuts are tightened down just because, and that you're not trying to put them on like that.

So you've got a Dia Compe rear hub, right? At least, that's what it looks like to me. Can you even get 8mm axles into one of those hubs?

Pretty sure the Gran Compe hubs are available in 110mm 8mm in Japan...cause i just saw some on yahoo.jp auctions.

RAP, Kalavinka should have them.

if that is a gran sport hub it should fit as their mold is Suntour/ Sansin copy.

S/F,
CEYA!
