Fluid2 Rear Drop Out Spacing?
Hi guys, quick question.
The Fluid 2 has three spacing options on the non-drive side, 120, 130, and 135. According to the site, 130 is for road bikes. When I put my road bike in, its actually the 135 option that fits, which is technically for mountain bikes. Am I doing something wrong? Cycleops is closed on the weekends lol.

Sorry, ALR 6 (no disks).
I clipped it in the 135 option and there was no wiggle when I peddled for a few minutes but again I feel uneasy as people are mentioning that its supposed to be 130mm for road bikes and 135 for mt (and disk road bikes).
I mean, it was a pretty tight fit at 135. My only concern is marring my rear drops out from over pressure from the clamp.

Again, my main concern is it being "too tight" that it could damage the frame (warping).
Thoughts?
