Thanks for the info. I had assumed that the 130 hub had a wider shell and
chainline. Sounds like it wouldn't help my situation.

The Surly hub came/does come in 130mm and 120mm OLN's but I think they both
share the same hubshell, so both would have the same chainline. The 130mm
just has a longer axle. In any case, my Casseroll wasn't a stock build, it
used a variety of track hubs in back, including a Dura-Ace and a Phil

I agree, how much leeway one has on either side of about a 40t chainring is
likely going depend the frame.
I used a 120mm hub with spacers in a 1988 Trek frame that probably had
126mm dropouts, but a 40t was as big as I could go. But that makes sense;
the bike was originally spec'd with a 40t i
I guess it depends on the frame but I think the concern about chainring
clearance on a 130mm spaced frame is overstated. I used to run a Salsa
Casseroll as a fixed gear, and it had 130mm hub spacing. A 42t chainring
at the appropriate chainline for a track hub (~42mm) never had any
clearance
I'm eager to see the Frank Jones on the Blug. Should be any day now?
I hemmed and hawed and bought a 53 rosco road instead -- same thinking as you
and the bob Jackson: 130mm spacing, can be single speeded or geared.
But, again, the drawback of a 120 hub in a 130 frame is gear selection. If you
didnt really look at it.
as far as my question/answer, it does look like the axle can be replaced as
there are cones/spacers/locknuts
reason i was asking was that if the coming riv single speed does not need
to be a good fit for me geometry wise (for $1400 I can get a custom frame
made to my me
I sold my Quickbeam wheelset to my friend, and he wants to replace the rear
cartridge bearings. We don't know if that's an easy operation with these
wheels or not.
Does anyone else know?

Replacing an axle and adding spacers is ORDINARILY very easy, and that's the
place to get them. The question here is whether or not the suzue hub has a
typical threaded axle with screw-on cone/race that can be transferred, or if it
has some sort of fixed shoulder that's part of the axle. I'd l
That's a great point. Something like this.

I have a set of 26" bolt-on, 120mm suzue hub wheels that i wanted to convert to
QR axles once. When sheldon was alive, he told me that it wasn't practical to
change axles on those suzue hubs, unfortunately. I would assume that swapping
in a longer one would be equally difficult, but don't real
As long as you respace each side of the hub and extra 5mm equally to
achieve the wider over lock nut your chainline wouldn't change at the hub
but as EasyRider mentioned you may have different chainring clearances with
the wider spaced 130 frame which may or may not require a longer bb spindle
Because the QB came with quick-release hubs, the axles on those wheels are
hollow and the axle probably only extends ~5mm past the locknuts, so adding
5mm of spacers on both sides to space the wheel out to 130mm would probably
take up all remaining axle overhang, if you'd even be able to thread
I've used a 120 fixed gear hub in a 130mm frame -- axle spacers will do the
trick. Way back when I bought a wheelset from Sheldon with those spacers,
and put them in an old Trek 330 frame.
Whether the chainline is "off" kind of depends on your ideal chainring/cog
combination. Frames spaced for
18 matches
