Hm, I did not run my backwheel like this. I would say it may work but it is a little bit critical. Could you post a side view picture? I guess a halflink would be possible. It reduces the actual chainstay lenght about 6 mm. One more tooth on you sprocket reduces the chainstay lenght about 3 mm.
That's nothing to worry about. Mine are about there too. As long as the entirety of that lock nut on the inside of the dropout is able to sit flush you're good.

The dropout is fixable. I think the only way to find out is to ride it..Thanks for the answers guys.
Hi mal, good that I could help somehow The pin-to-pin distance is 0.5 inch to be precise, so 12.7 mm. But the pin-to-pin line is not parallel to the BB-to-rear-axle line, so it is only an approximation to say that one linke would make 12.7 mm difference. That is one aspect that I wanted to know exactly when I tried to derive that formula in the link I mentioned. I agree with razorlab: It looks like there is a washer between the dropout and the cone nut on the left side. By the way: What hub is it? Isn't it with KHE internals? So you would find an axle easily.
Update: For the record,i had a hard session today and the axle didn't move a hair.So its all good with that configuration.It can hold up fine.But i am gonna put on a halflink and push it forward a bit because it made the front wheel hard to pull up.The bike was more stable though with the added length.Later I will also post my feelings (at the correct section) about the new Heresy Zephyr flatland tires,the Heresy Evergrip grips tape and the 160mm/20t/9t configuration that i tested today.

Makes certain tricks more difficult when your feet are constantly hitting the back pegs because your wheel is moved in too far. That is amazing you got the new Heresy tires. Let us know how they ride!!!!
