The crack on Mike's Ram (old hack-fix pictures) is in the drop-out, just where it's going in to the chain stay. And I just saw that my XO-1 apparently has 126 mm spacing - with a 135 mm wheel. I have an old 126 mm cassette hub in good condition that I might use in a new wheel though, but a better idea would really be spreading the frame to fit a standard 130 mm hub. Michael Hechmer - if you click on "show more" on the flickr page, under the title, or just hold the cursor over that line (starts with "My Rambouillet broke today ...") you'll get the full story. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/sets/72157609818335769 And I don't think you scrolled all the way to the bottom of that page - there you see all parts used which makes it pretty obvious how it was held together.
