For you who have flexed your stays to use a 130, how to you handle flats in the field? is their a cute field trick to making wheel reattachment easier?
carefully! I usually stand the bike upright and work the rear wheel, then sort of pull the stays apart and the bike drops down onto the wheel
I have been having my older frames coldset to 130 to make it easier since I want to switch to all cassette wheels
