Hello.
Just signed up on the forums and new to building bikes and have a newbie question.
I am looking into purchasing a used wheelset for my SS MTB project and have a question about modifying the rear axle to accommodate the frame.
The rear wheels I have looked at were 130 & 135mm. My frame is 150. Will I be able to just switch out the axle for a longer one?
130mm
