OK so here's a spaced out question: if you were going to build the End-Of-Days bike for the ArmyGideon what the internests told me is coming, what would you sheeple space your dream custom last bike at..?
Speaking as someone who has more bikes at 120mm than any other spacing, I need some edumacashun. I mean, from what I can gather 142mm seems pretty normal now for MTB/Touring people. Better than stupid 130mm or 135 because less dish, right? Fatbikeland have got 177mm and 197mm, which is fine for 4inch tyres but for us wanting to haul around a mere 2inch or below, what's going to be the new normal?
I notice that the Pro4 150mm rear has an even flange spacing which seems, for the 'derailleur afflicted', like the direction we should probably be going in. I have no clue about what people are doing with thru-axle builds... are people/manufacturers going with 142mm for road/gravel bikes etc these days?
