I’ve changed my 456 Carbon back to singlespeed (using the on-one sliding dropouts), but as I’ve gone to tighten everything up, I’ve realised the QR isnt long enough. I can’t change the wheel to a bolt through at the moment so am using the quick releases.
I’ve got the width of the swap/dropouts, then about 3mm extra on each side where the flange of the chain tugs rests on the outer side of the dropouts. I can just about get 2mm of the QR cap threaded on with the cam fully open, so no chance of tightening it.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I need an extra long qr?
