I don't think it's possible to get the gap any better. I'm still not happy with the lock nut resistance. I've got that question in to Vans.. and not happy that the nut isn't sitting flat, but that's been determined by Vans putting the hole too close to the bend.

Static run-ups above 1700 rpm increase your risk of blade damage due to gravel/sand. -------- Wayne G.
