Can any Equilibrium Rim Brake owners measure there rear drop-outs for me please?

The catalogue says 135mm for rear "Hub Size/Spacing" but I'm wondering if it's more of a 132.5mm situation...

130mm for rim brake Equilibrium.

Yeah thats what I've measured on mine, but the catalogue says 135mm.
It's the 2021 dark green frameset.

I've been running my mates 130 hub on the rear for about 9 months which slotted in nicely at the time, so I didn't give much thought to what the actual measurements where.

Only now that I'm speccing some new wheels have I found the discrepancy,
and I'm wondering if I may have pinched the frame in to fit the 130 wheels. I feel like I would have noticed the 130-135 difference, hence thinking that it's a 132.5 which could go either way on the hub spec.

End goal is to figure if I should stick with a 130 hub, or go 135.

Thrilling, right?

Definitely 130mm on the rim brake, disc was 135mm.

That page also says they use Shimano R7000 hubs, the rear of which is 130mm.
Edit: which also appears to be an error, they're specced with KT hubs, which as it happens are also 130mm.
So, conclusion: run a 130mm rear hub, it's what fits, it's what you've measured, and it's what the full bike comes with.

Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards as it means I'll also be able to swap wheels between bikes.
Even if I have pinched the dropouts they seem fine.

Funny that they would spec 135 on the catalogue though.

Anyone else fancy chipping in with a measurement?

I'm guessing it's just a proof/publishing error.
You won't have pinched the dropouts, you'd have to bring them in a lot more than 5mm to get them to stay there.

My volare 931 got a dura ace 9100 upgrade last week. Carbon hunts will come out for summer soon!

Looking to buy a Genesis CdF 20 or 30 in M. Found a few UK based bike shops online that has it but they won't ship outside the UK - I'm in Switzerland. Anyone know of any shops that do?

l'Échappée Belle in Paris

I don't know about availability, but Polish bikepackers.com.pl is selling Genesis bikes and I think they will ship to Switzerland.

Chain engagement fail

Good spot @hippy once seen etc

It’s very very obvious that I just want to be like @scottparsley

the latest one is £2k+ with cable discs !

Wow. I didn’t know they got that expensive.
I think I have around £6-700 invested in it, but it’s been a slow build while looking for deals and build wheels :)

That's nice! I always fancied one of those but don't really have much use for one (not doing this right am I)

Nice! Still using mine pretty much every day, commuting and hauling kids mainly. Great for touring too, will take it out for a weekend end of april.

What rack are you running there?

Looks like a simworks obento

Yep @alan_tbt picked up from here. I'd have got a nitto one if I was buying new as cheaper and can have more weight according to the spec

Which nitto carries more weight? M18 is pretty low as I recall
