Hi, I am looking to purchase new wheels for my bike. It is a Poseidon triton road bike with the rim brakes not disc brakes. The set I want has rear spacing of 130mm but the customer support told me my rear spacing is 135mm but when I google it google says the disc brake version is 135mm and rim brake version is 130mm so I’m confused. Can anyone help me figure out if these wheels will fit my bike before buying them!? Thanks!
Correct hub size??

When you looked up wheels did you just look up rim brake wheels or anything specific? I can return them if they don’t fit so I think I’m just gonna order them cause google says 130mm fits and the wheels are 130mm.
Yeah I’m going to do that I’ve just been on vacation away from my bike and was gonna order today so I thought I’d come here to see if anyone knew

Take wheel out and measure the gap between drop outs. It should be 130, but if the manufacturer went with MTB hubs 135. Not hard to check as 5mm between the drop outs is a big enough gap for a tape measure.
I bought some Zipp 303‘s, a pair of Wiggles carbon rimed wheels and a pair of Mavic Ksyriums and as they said they for a rim braked road bike I just presumed they’d fit. Which they did.
