I’d hoped to have mounted the wheels before posting, so I could check that everything ran smoothly, but have hit a couple of snags with the wheels from Markits. First was the squared axle wouldn’t enter the wheel. I’m used to this, Slaters 7mm wheels typically need a bit of careful easing, removing burrs using a fine square file. So I did a bit of gentle filing, taking care to give each face in turn the same attention, until the axle end could be eased in. The second snag is when I came to add the locking nut, I found it was fractionally too large to enter the socket in the wheel – so I called it a day. I contacted Markits, who kindly sent me a set of smaller locking nuts, which easily fit within the recess. I’m not sure if these are part of their normal range, I haven’t seen any mention of them elsewhere.
