Yea, i had a mono which wouldn't fit properly, filed the dropouts a little and it fits perfectly, don't go mad though, just a bit at a time till it fits.

Dan Jones Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 If you don't want to file it , I think you might be able to get the wheel in by pulling the drop outs apart and slotting the hub in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
