Hi all,
Got a bit of a problem here... I have just laced me an old XT rear hub (a NOS one) that's supposed to be 7 speed. And indeed it's 7-speed all right. Only problem is: I think it's a 130mm OLD version, since I have to "squeeze" the frame together a bit to get the hub in the dropouts.
Any way I can change this? I think I should be able to find a replacement axle somewhere right? But do I also need an extra spacer or en extra locknut or something? Or do I really need to unlace the stuff and start looking for a 135 OLD rear hub.
Really strange, the hub look totally identical to another M732 I have and that one IS 135mm. Nothing on the hub states it should be different than my other one, except for that I need to squeeze the rear of my stumpjumper frame together. It won't even fit my KLEIN frame, just falls right out between the dropouts :-(
Any help please
