If your drop out measures as 9mm...
Remove the axle spacer, as your fork dropouts are already the perfect fit for securing your Swytch Motor Wheel, which has a 9mm axle. Keep the spacer aside in case you need it later or if your measurements were incorrect. For your safety, always ensure the wheel is securely fitted. If the wheel feels loose in the fork dropouts, double-check your measurements, as there may be an error.
If your dropout measures as 10mm...
Install the axle spacer as shown in the video below to ensure a secure and safe fit.
