If I could find spacers nominally 3mm narrower than the current ones (for each side) would that not give me a 126? I'm unsure about how this would affect the freewheel placement / dish, but think it should be OK still? Were 70s 10 speeds spaced for 120? I'd like a 70s Fuji (The Finest or Newest
).
The catalogs are online. Yes they were 120 in the rear. What size do you ride? I have a 23 inch '72 Finest I should move on (but it has some issues).
