errr yea, the axle isnt sticking far enough through the wheel to get the spacer and nut on.

Try and find a centre point on the subframe and see if it lines up with the centre of the wheel. Isnt there something called offset? or is that just for car wheels? Im sure if the offset is wrong then the wheel wont sit centre on the bike.

Dont quote me on this tho i just vaugly remember something along them lines

marcus, pop to a local bike garage and ask them to fit a knackered tyre so you can try it for size?
