Has anyone here got a Hija de la Coneja? I am going to order one but am bamboozled with rear spacing/hub options. Basically I want to be able to switch between wheelsets easily so it seems like 135 spacing is the best as there are plenty of wheelsets/hubs out there.
The issues with this are that the options for non disc hubs (I am going for V brakes) seems a little limited. Also the rear dropout width will most likely be 14mm whereas the hub axles are all 10mm. I imagine that isnt a problem with vertical drop outs but with horizontal the torque from pedalling is likely to shift the hub in the drop outs if it doesnt fit.
Am I best to concede, go for track spacing, and use a track hub with free wheel? The issue here is there isnt lots of spare wheels I can throw in if I damage one.
What have other people done is the same situation
