To spread or not to spread. That is the question....
So I've got this old Miyata 610 that I'm starting to work on. Thanks to some of the other posts around here I got curious and went out and measured the frame spacing only to find that it's 120 mm. I'm thinking I'd like to re-space this to 126 and run with my old but still freehub equipped 105 hubs and 7 speed cassettes. Now I've also got some wheels with freewheels on them but they are all "no name". But with 6 speeds it would/should fit the current 120 mm. But from what I've seen the freehub setup is a little more stiff thanks to the wider bearing spacing and less axle to flex.
Thoughts on this?
