    Upgraded my bike with the brake one because I am carrying my kid.

    Unless you go minimalist (supernova, Son, mini bumm), somehow having a brake light on the road seemed common sense.

    Rose has a better deal.

    Actually all the hub I am looking at at similar in 130 and 135. Only the axle has different ends.

    May I ask the impact having a triple?

    I actually just order a new one, so can go either way, but yes once the wheel is built, you cannot add a 5mm spacer because it won't be centered anymore!

    And yes tempted by the 130mm. The 135mm needed a lot of tension on quick release to actually don't move. So 130mm might be the one.

    Yes, I confirm both fits, had both in it.

    But now building a nice wheel, no I want to order the right size.

    Frame is a Schauff Libero, nothing really known. A defunct German company making race bike to trekking bike. Bike is sort of an hybrid, what would be called fitness nowadays. So can be either way, 130 or 135mm.

    Hello! I have a steel frame and measure the spacing without wheel, and it is 131.5mm.

    Any experience if I should go 130mm or 135mm?

    Thank you in advance!

    don't know for the pedals, but interestingly they are using the old EPS on the time trial bike, a groupset for less than 1000€ on bike24! (was 999euro this week end)
