I think with the casette you have more flexibility than I had with the old freewheel and can avoid the pie plate. You will probably need to use an axle spacer on either side. On Sep 23, 9:30 am, Cycletex wrote: > Would a pie plate be necessary to re-space from 130 to 135? I'm about > to re-spac

I'd buy the White or Phil . . .they are as good as it gets. These are on the high end though. Then you have the cheap Shimano mtb hubs. There is not much in between. I won't use cup/cone hubs anymore. My last pair was 105's from the 90's and the bearing races were shot in less than one year. R

I've respaced two hubs recently for a couple of 135 Riv builds, both using new Shimano 105 130mm rears. Extra 5mm spacer on the left side (right next to the current 5mm spacer), re-center the axle so there's 2.5mm sticking out on each side, redish and works wonderfully. Can be done with 105s and Ul

Your LBS should have some decent quality axle spacers. With a little effort - two spacers on the axle, one freewheel guard to pull out the low gear far enough for the derailleur to hit consistently (Bikesnobnyc will mock me for riding with a pie plate - but I would rather be able to hit the gear

Yes, the Atlantis has always been 135mm. It's about the only "downside" if you even want to call it that of 135mm spacing is you can't use pre-made road wheels. . . . and there simply isn't as many choices for non disc mtb hubs these days. at least ones that I'd want to buy. --~--~--
