- I have an '89 Bridgestone MB2, which came with a 130mm rear hub
- (a Sansin sealed-bearing hub with a Suntour freewheel).
-
- I replaced it with a Deore cassette (135mm); the rear dropouts appear
- to have been spaced close to 135mm, because the rear wheel drops right
- in. I didn't touch the BB.
-
- If your rear droputs are really 130mm, you can still just stuff it in.
-
- (For a really good time, try getting an over or undersized hub into
- a Klein Al frame - those chainstays are NOT interested in bending).
