Can Formula's be re-spaced to 110mm?
#5
I remember reading a post by someone in the past saying some Formula's have spacers and some don't. I was hoping for some firsthand experience if anyone's successfully done it though...

I've got my axles filed down from 10mm to 8mm already because my Bridgestone is 120x8mm... weird dropouts. I think it'd just be a matter of evening out the file job where the spacers are removed...

"I've seen at least two different versions of Formulas that differ in the axle hardware. On one version, there's a 4-5 mm spacer on each side that you can ditch and presto, you have 110 mm. On the other, there's nothing to remove that isn't irreplaceable. But you can get replacement generic parts that are thinner from Bicycle Research (any good shop will have a parts box from them) and use them instead".
