As long as you respace each side of the hub and extra 5mm equally to achieve the wider over lock nut your chainline wouldn't change at the hub but as EasyRider mentioned you may have different chainring clearances with the wider spaced 130 frame which may or may not require a longer bb spindle to clear the chainstays with same sized rings vs the 120 frame.
Was the wheelset QR or bolt on? I discovered Rivendell after the Quickbeams had been long gone (aside from a few remaining warehouse frame finds that I apparently missed a while ago) I have 2 sets of singlespeed wheels with traditional bolt on rear hubs. One has a short axle and cannot be spaced any wider as the outside of the bolts already sit flush with the axle ends when installed but the other is wide enough to space out to 130 (maybe even 135.) If QR, however, you only need enough axle protrusion from the locknut to keep the wheel lined up in the dropout/trackends.

I'd rather use it in a 130mm spaced frame (but does that mean > chainline will be off?) > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
