this is a junior 24" tubular bike.
I bought the ultra 6 because it does fit in 120mm spacing- but the distance between the bb and axle is much shorter then 700 wheels.
1. Wrong - FACT! I provided the Sutherland's Reference for you already.
2. 29mm to 31mm - that's only 1mm more per each side of the rear chainline centerline.
3. Respacing to spec does BOTH - see #2.
4. The short stays will always be a problem - and you'll always make it worse irregardless anytime you try to increase gears. Going Ultra-6 is not too bad - just 2mm. Going Ultra-7 at +7mm will be awful.
Pick your poison on #4.
