Garth, my Bleriot wheels were built up with a Superbe Pro rear hub, what could that have been, 126mm? I measured spacers on the left side and it seems to be 5mm, so what am I not seeing? The bike was set up with a QR and I have never had a problem, it was all done in 2006 or so. I just want to wrap my head around this and of course the man that built up my tires is either retired or not with us, he was somewhat older than I am and I will be 69 is knocking at my door. I just want to make sure I get it right for the new Atlantis frame that I have a feeling is shipping sooner than I thought as Riv has a notice on their site to use email as they are all working to ship out a lot of frames.
