If the bearings are set properly the extra nuts don't effect the "preset"
play in the hub. When it's time to repack bearings the task is a tad
easier if you remove (dremel) the threads on the inner innermost lock
nuts, effectively making them into spacers/ washers. I have a 126mm
o.l.d wheel
unless you need the extra strength of the 135mm just add an extra locknut
on both sides of the axle and you are good to roll. The shorter axle will
have a couple mm left for the dropouts which is plenty. Actually Sheldon

I like the brake hoods parallel with the ground and the reach 10cm shorter

more important as to how they feel than the tilt. A half centimeter one way

Hello to you. You are about to make a wise choice in bicycles. I really
don't think you could own a better bicycle than a Rivendell. There's a
wealth of of information here.

I have a Specialized floor pump w/ gaugue that I like very well. I have
checked it with one of those brass push on gauges I've had for years and
they both read the same. I've used it to add a tad bit of air to my car

I like the handling of my Ram better when unloaded on the front. I have
however had it set up with a Mark's rack and lil loafter up front and like
