Jake. Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Pretty sure you'd just get 136mm and a few spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 It'd be 116 then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 If your axle measures at 130mm, then you need the 116 one. 116 is the OLN (space between the dropouts), the axle is then around 4mm longer per side to sit into the dropouts. Axles for 135mm frames usually come in around 142mm in actual length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
