Hhm, not sure I understand. A Sheldon nut would give you 1-2 mm more
thread engagement if using a fender, by mounting the fender tab to the
separate fender bolt. 1-2 mm is not enough for me, I don't think. Am I
missing something?

A correct point. It is the same thread as a brake bolt. My set up

Folks,
I may be missing something here since I don't have hands on experience with

getting everything fastened down. You might have to drill out the hole
Based on my somewhat limited experience, I'd classify them this way:

N -- Casts a shorter swath of light that fans out a little more. If
you think of the R's beam as being a tall/long rectangle, the N's

You could, of course, just list the actual measurement and let the
buyer decide if that's what they want or not.
You wouldn't be mis-representing anything.

Sorry for the late response, but I used a Dremmel to grind down the
inside of the headset locknut. You could also use a round file, but
it is just going to take longer. Just take the headset locknut off
and see if you can get the stem to fit. If you can, then you may just
need to modify the lock

You don't have to worry about putting a 130 spaced hub into a 135
