It's funny you brought that up Joel as I was going to relate my experience with my '83 Stumpjumper. Of course it came with a 126mm Specialized rear hub, but my original freewheel needed replaced so I decided to cold set the rear to 135mm and replace the original solid axle with a longer solid version with equal amount spacers added to each side. This gave me the space for the 13-28 Sachs 6sp FW. Worked just as it should of course. I wouldn't recommend a QR axle.
I never thought twice about using bolt-on axles and all since that's what the Stumpjumper came with. Carry a suitable wrench in the tool bag of course. I don't ever recall getting a flat tire on that bike in all those years though ! I believe I used the 10x1 174 solid axle. Wheels Mfg. has all the necessary parts. https://wheelsmfg.com/products/hub-parts.html On Monday, July 27, 2020 at 1:22:52 PM UTC-4, Joel Stern wrote: > > I believe the answer is yes but I want to make sure.
