Hi,

Some time ago I bought new frame and I am little confused. Internal width of rear dropouts is about 129,5 mm with quite thick layer of paint. Problem is that my rear hub was 131 mm wide. I decided to change hub spacer from 6 to 4mm and right now everything fits perfectly.

But question is different. Is it ok to spread dropouts a little to fit wheel? I want to change wheels and I am not sure if it will be ok if new wheels also will be a little wider than frame.

Of course frame is made of aluminium.
