Hub axle clearance is measured from the inside dimension of the dropouts. Cam faces clamp onto the outside of the dropouts, so are naturally wider. 30 extra mm seems a bit much, but one must allow for them to open and clear the dropouts. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelt To: RBW Owners Bunch Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 4:53 PM Subject: [RBW] Re: Skewered?
They are great, but they were the reason I opened the size question.. I measured from the face of the cam to the end of the threads on the skewer that fits and read off 165mm (more or less). Is that correct for a 135 mm rear wheel spacing? I really have not had any experience with skewers or rear wheel spacing before. Thanks.
