Winter build: Part 2
So I finally picked up my tire from Tom and put it on my wheel last night to find out that it doesn't fit. The fork I'm using is too short.![DSC_3419](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5089/5205071704_3c4f63a6d9_z.jpg)
After measuring the front and back tires, I found that the rear tire was slightly narrower, its knobs weren't as big.. So I switched the tires and put that one up front. Still rubbing, I decided to file off the lawyer tabs on the fork, and slide the axle lower..

This doesn't seem very safe to me, and it's STILL rubbing at certain spots. I either need to use my old Allcity fork or just get a smaller tire and hold on to this one for the rear when it wears through..
I'll have more soon, I felt like it'd be done very soon, but keep running into problems, as always right?
Also, I had a chain from my old bike that I was going to use, but the ratio on that was way smaller I guess, there aren't enough links to fit this ratio haha. So I'm going to be using a coloured chain that I have lying around haha :D
More updates coming soon!
you could use my scrambler fork
