Apartment living really sucks. So happy to live in my own house even though I have to deal with maintenance and property taxes.

Loving all this talk about apartments as I'm about to sign a new lease. Actually am pretty pumped because I found a place all to myself, in a nice building, in a great neighborhood, with a parking spot included, and pretty "reasonable" rent -- by LA standards anyway. The rent in this city is...

Kickass! I should try to get out this weekend. I'll probably be a little less ambitious, though - a metric double in two days sounds about right.

Did you build it as 130mm? I ran a 130mm rear wheel in an old 126mm frame for years with no issues, just by pulling the triangle apart a bit and jamming it in there to install it.

i owned a road bike from the same year with 130mm spacing so why would a mountain bike have skinnier spacing? stupid.
gonna go find me a 2x4 tomorrow and do some science, then the hub fits and i dont have the spread the stays if i have to change the wheel

Fresh Garbage
I went to replace the freewheel and axle on a bike I picked up. 6 speed 80's bike so I assumed it's 126mm. Went to put in the wheel and it didn't fit :headdesk:

I just spread 'em til the wheel drops in, too.
After a few years with a 130 wheel in there the frame will end up spaced at 130
I dunno how I'd feel about 135 in a 126 tho

Think I'm gonna start wearing my helmet now, days are dark and since I'm doing bike work, it's probably for the best cause my annual crash should be coming up.
