Katie's Whyte 905 has a Yari with 'big' dropouts and a Whyte branded hub with standard ends. Front wheel comes off the bike for transport and it's an annoying faff to get in and out.

Does anyone have any idea whether Whytes own brand hubs (in 2017) were something else rebranded, or whether there are any decent solutions that deal with the dropouts rather than the hub?

I got a couple of self adhesive plastic washers and trimmed the bottom out with a Stanley knife and stuck them top the drop outs.

Type things, Iirc it's about m18 and 25mm od but check the sizes...

Edit: sizes from the below link make it m22 to 31mm

I use these, which have worked perfectly, not given them a second thought since installing
