Lynne,
My All-Rounder has 135mm rear spacing, I remove the axles from the
front and rear Phil Wood Hubs when I pack the bike. Otherwise, just
like yours, it's a bit of a pain.
Mine is a 59cm but with 26" wheels...which helps.

For me, a double wrap of cotton tape on my Atlantis bike makes the

the diameter and seems to spread out the load a bit.

The best shifting double I used was on my cyclocross bike a 38-47 set
