Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

130mm hub on 135 dropout

I've googled the topic and found conflicting advices.
Has anyone tried to install a 130mm wheel on a 135mm frame?
I have a spare Shimano WH-R500 and would like to install on my Aluminum GMC Denali.

Would it be ok to just add 2.5mm spacers to each end?
Or do i need to replace with 135mm axle and re-dish?

Thanks in advance.

Spacers are fine.
Even without spacers, you would be fine. The frame can flex that tiny amount without problem.

The Denali is 135mm? How forward thinking! You could upgrade that bad boy through 12-speed!
