Would have thought so as thats where the tyre will be seated. Ive always measured mine that way

spared 10 kins in the garage before tea, looks close but i might be able to get away with it. i will get my dad round as this is his sort of thing to play around with





i will be gutted if they dont fit as i love them, front also seems to be quite straight forward.

Is that rear sitting flat against the hub?

Yeah , it was quite hard to get it in place and take a photo, can you see an issue?

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

No that does make sence , like I say my dad is really good with this sort of thing so I will let him have a look at it , will be gutted if they don't fit

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