Hi, I am considering buying a used rear wheel with a spacing of 120mm for the rear dropouts. The seller says he can change the axle and then I would have a 126mm spacing, which would suit me better. I could then have a 7-speed freewheel (screw on).
Is it really that simple? Simply change the axle to accommodate a different frame dropout spacing?
