Hey guys,
Received a new frame and didn't know it had a 130mm rear dropout spacing until I tried mounting the rear wheel on, which has a 135mm hub.
It took only very little effort to fit the wheel, I was basically able to "force" the stays opened using 2 fingers, by fitting 1 side in, then pusing on the cassette with my thumb and pulling on the chainstay with my index...
You guys think this will stress the frame at all or could become an issue long term?
I have to overhaul this hub soon and think it has a couple 2.5mm spacers anyways, I'll probably remove a spacer and fix dish, that should make it an almost perfect fit....
Thoughts?
