I don't know the answer to the first question. On the second, since the axle travels in a slight arc, there will certainly be a position where the distance between transmission & axle is at minimum.

I believe That the 60 spoke Dunlop wheel will NOT fit with the front drums on the BN2. The 60 spoke Daytons WILL clear the drums with .040" to spare. AFAIK, the 72 spoke will fit all. It's a matter
