I just noticed it was damn near impossible to get my front wheel centered.  In the end, there was about 1/4" or more space between the lock nuts of the wheel and the inside of the dropout.  It got to the point that I could no longer get the wheel centered to save my life.

The wheel being used was trued and dished correctly.
The following is the truth.  The preceeding is a lie.

yea iv noticed that! figured i just as doing it wrong. and the front wheel will frequently sorta jilt sideways and scrape the side of the fork so its a pain to have to constantly straighten it back.

Percy has broken more parts riding flat in the last year than I had ever broken in 8 years of riding park/street. Guy is relentless.

@ JaCkDeE
Looks like you only had the steerertube in the bottom half of the stem-tunnel since there are a lot of spacers underneath!? Thats no good for a stem and fork.
