There are several frames around with 132.5mm rear spacing, so that you can choose to run road or MTB hubs. If you have a bike setup for touring with 135mm 9 speed rear wheel and triple chainset. The rear wheel gets borked but you have a spare which is identical but on a 130mm road hub. What needs to happen to get the spare wheel running in the frame?
I've read some stuff about redishing of wheels but not sure if that would apply when the rear triangle itself is being moved in, or out, to accomodate the differing OLD.
I can see that the cassette would now be positioned differently but can't quite work out whether that would be by 2.5 or 5mm. If the splines bit is the same length on each hub then that would indicate to me that the freehub itself, ie flange to flange, differs by 5mm and all other bits are the same. If this is the case then it would mean that all would work but the cassette would be 5mm inboard of the ideal chainline.
Would this still work, maybe on a limited gear range?
