i owned a road bike from the same year with 130mm spacing so why would a mountain bike have skinnier spacing? stupid.
gonna go find me a 2x4 tomorrow and do some science, then the hub fits and i dont have the spread the stays if i have to change the wheel

I went to replace the freewheel and axle on a bike I picked up. 6 speed 80's bike so I assumed it's 126mm. Went to put in the wheel and it didn't fit :headdesk:

I dunno how I'd feel about 135 in a 126 tho
