Hi,
I really want to get some of Varno's wheels (http://www.lfgss.com/thread49556.html) but my frame is a 60s Bob Jackson with a 115mm spaced rear. The narrowest he can do is 120mm for the rear. It's a steel frame, so it would probably squeeze in. Varno said I'd probably be ok. I think it will be too, but just wondering what some more experienced people than myself would do?
Do I just go for it and hope the chainline is ok?
Or do I play safe and try and find a 115mm rear wheel?
I've got no idea how to change an axel so don't really want to go down that route unless it's my only route...
