So I bought a sweet Avon Speedmaster for the front and mounted it myself yeaterday. (Phew! In my parking stall with limited tools and a little help from my neighbors and my daughter) When I removed the front wheel I was surprised to see what looked like crappy homemade shims around the front axle. It was clear that without them the axle would be too small to clamp tightly inside the forks. Is this normal or some crazy PO bullshit? I took pictures specifically to check with the experts here.
