Sam Song Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago In the past not too long ago, rear hub spacing on frames were quite simple with 26 inch frames being 135mm and 20 inch frames being 116mm. There was a brief period of manufacturers introducing "modstock" spacing with 116mm rear spacing for 26 inch frames but they did not end up sticking around. Nowadays, Clean has their proprietary 120mm rear through-axle. Jitsie is running 116mm rear spacing. And Inspired is running the usual 135mm through-axle. Were these different standards really necessary? It makes switching parts between frames very hard nowadays. I would personally love to see bike companies going back to 135mm spacing with a choice between bolt-on and through axle. Meanwhile, the rest of the other single speed DJ frames in the MTB are happy sticking with the usual 135mm/142mm spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
