Occasionally toy with a frame pump, but when a Big Apple gets a flat,
it's more handy to use the morph. Not as elegant, though.

Check the pedals first. It's difficult to tell BB clicks from pedal clicks,
and pedals are a more likely culprit. EZ to just change the pedal on the

Totally. Way more useful over the long haul than going through the trouble of new spacing or new hubs.
And besides, a great feature of the Ram is how you can have two rear wheels for it - a 130'er for fast rides and a 135'er for tours. It would be a loss to change that.
