True, except that 130 mm wheels are easy to get at a good price. That is the
main reason I care. And I'm not about to mess with my lightweight, custom
road frame. I'll probably just keep having to scrounge/build/buy a 135 mm,
700c wheel for the Salsa every few years. Or buy a lighter cross frame.
Like I said, I had my doubts. Thanks for the input anyhow.
