Message: >I have a set of Rolf Vectors I want to use on a cross frame that has 135mm dropout spacing. The frame is steel, and has vertical dropouts. Do I need to 1)have the dropouts spaced, 2)use washers/spacers on the axle inside of the dropouts, 3)pass on the whole thing, or 4)just put the wheel in and clamp a bit tighter without fear of the wheel coming out? Thanks in advance. .......I've clamped 126 hubs in 130 STEEL dropouts with no problem. Wouldn't do it with aluminim frame. Adding spacers could make the axel too short for proper support in dropout.
