road wheels in a 135mm frame
Apparently, I skrewed up - bought the frame that has 135mm rear spacing (or so I think). Is there any way I can use my road wheels with this frame? I would imagine there gotta be some kind of spacers out there...

get a 135mm axle, trasfer everything over and make up the space with 2 2.5mm axle spacers on each side between the cone and the knurled axle nut on the end to build up to the drop out span....maybe?
if it is a steel frame im not sure if you could cold set it to 130....usually it wirks from 126 to 130 but not too sure of going in the reverse direction: making the spacing smaller between the dropouts.

I'd do the longer axle thing, or just get new wheels with mountain hubs.

Apparently, someone sells spacers that go on the skewers - this way, I can exchange wheels with my road bike without any extra work.
