Does anyone else just make do with the newer wider front wheel hubs and stretch the older narrower forks to fit; (I forget if it is a 5mm or 10mm difference)? Sometimes I notice that using a Quick Release front wheel makes the stretching part easier. Wondering if rebuilding modern 28” (700) rims is worth the extra effort? Many of those older forks also do not have the slotted holes.
