    I took the fork to my LBS and they too doesn't have an answer with the gap. We tried 1 1/8" that one is too big and 1" is too small. They didn't want to pound in because it will probably split it. I guess ill just settle with the gap in there, maybe ill put a rubber band around it.

    PAINTING WHITE WALLS??

    just an idea, but you can make a giant drafting compass with a piece of wood. drill a hole on one side of the wood that goes on the wheel axle then another hole on the other side that will fit a tire paint pen. Then just circle it around the wheel. Im not sure if it will work but its worth a try...
