What is the 130mm and 135mm spacing you talk about?
It's got Shimano shifters - 7 gears on the back hub.
What's friction mode?
I would rather do this than pay the LBS.
If I understand correctly, I would have to take out all the spokes to remove the hub, which is the casing around the axel. I would put in a new (freehub) hub, by hooking up all the spokes again.
Then I would assemble the axel, bearings, gears, etc.
Right?
P.S. If I stay with a freewheel, the procedure remains the same if I change out my cups, correct?
