  • Thinking of flipping a 6 bolt 130 OLN qr disc wheel in a 135 spaced frame using 5mm spacers and disc cog to run the bike fixed. Any idea what chainline will that give me?

  • Thinking of flipping a 6 bolt 130 OLN

    Definitely flip it and buy a new 135mm hub, 130mm disc hubs are hens' teeth🙂

    The chain line on a flipped rear hub is about 54mm, depending on which side you put the 5mm spacer add or subtract 2.5mm

  • Think it’s already built if my memory is right and it’s these

  • Haha, unfortunately i had it wrong as this a boring old 135mm RS 505 hub.

    is about 54mm

    Ouch i was hoping to pair it with some Rotor 1X cranks that are around 44mm, doesn't sound like a good match to me. Would a 5800 crankset with a NW ring on the outer position and maybe a few shims work better? Chainline is listed as 43.5mm but i'm assuming that's measured between inner and outer?

    Would also need to think about securing it properly, pretty sure i have an old XT qr somewhere but maybe there's a steel bolt up skewer that isn't trash like the Halo etc?
