Hello all,
I have an old steel frame that I'm converting to a single speed and the chainstays are spaced at 130mm. I bought a set of wheels on eBay and it was noted that the rear hub was spaced for 130, but they're Surly's that are 135mm. I should have researched that a bit more before the purchase ... oh well. So, to the question. Has anyone spread the chainstays of a steel frame to fit a larger hub and if so, did it work ok?
Also, the rims are Salsa Delgado-X, 22mm wide, a bit wider than the average road rim I believe. Will road brakes (Shimano 600) work ok on a rim that wide? Once again, poor planning on my part.
Thanks,
JR
