Current Projects chat and miscellany

Mine is 135mm, but other brands (Van Dessel for example) use 130mm.

I think 135 makes a lot more sense as you can use any 29er wheel- my wheelset is a 29er wheelset, for example.

Also having a cassette on one side and a disc on the other I think a bit more width is useful- I reckon Dura Ace 9000 might well be 135mm in the disc version.

Yes, it does indeed make more sense, a hell of a lot more sense.

135mm with space off for the cassette and disc mount would allow you to make a stronger wheel than 130mm.

Just finding out to see what braking system to pick, which would seem be pretty fundamental, especially as the only 130mm CX disc hubs I could find were bloody expensive, whereas good MTB hubs are not hard to find and relatively cheap!
