I added what _seems_ to be an 8mm nylon spacer (can't quite get the calipers in there all the way, but it measured 7-8 mm from various eyeballed angles) to my setup on the Quickbeam. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/517196674 If you follow the photostream forward, you can see it from a few angles. With the SKS fender tab, the end of the threaded bit on the Nitto Mini Front rack is just a hair past flush. I'm not positive that's the same crown, but I'd bet it was pretty close. hope that helps, - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "There were messengers who named their bikes, but Chevette never would have done that, and somehow because she did think about it like it was something alive."
