    I have a 16 inch front wheel that has an axle width of 100mm. The front fork opening is 95mm. I can just about get it into the front forks with a bit of pulling. Am l risking damaging the forks, should I fit a smaller hub ?

    as long as they spring back to the same dimension you won’t have exceeded the “elastic limit” (hookes law) and the steel will not have yielded (been overstressed) not sure about the brazed joint though
