no, I'm right on the line required, before the end of the tire, (but not
by much!) my work has been described as crude but effective, and in a lot
of ways I am proud of that! (although I am trying to better my
craftsmanship) the tail section was actually the first piece of aluminum I
ever used an English wheel on, story there too, I had originally cut the
metal and worked it trying to make it fit the FRONT of the bike, after
several days of trying to make it bend into the shape I thought it should
be , in frustration I just placed in on the rear tire so I could sit down
and think about what I was trying to do, lo and behold there it was, the
piece I wanted for the front was actually the tail section, took about 15
more minutes of work to make it fit there just perfectly!
