Will ← You can get away with the 123mm (or is it 122.5mm spindle? One or the other) from what I can tell. That *should* make tension OK, I'd have thought. The main problem with the T-Mags is that some people pelt the downtubes too much, so they dent. That's not a f**king surprise, is it? No. No, no, no. As long as you don't try, say, ups to tube, gaps to tube, sidehops to tube - that sort of thing, you should be fine... Seeing as you use a bashring anyway it should be diamond, as another problem seems to be people hammering the bash mount through the downtube wall.
