The San Marcos has a very stiff rear triangle. I tried to cold set it to 132 with my bare hands and it didn't budge.
I have turned 135 hubs to 130 by swapping to a "wheels manf" shorter axle, removing spacers and redishing. It is pretty easy on older hubs but harder with the current MTB hubs that have the rubber dust protector. -Dave J On Wednesday, January 8, 2014 1:41:29 PM UTC-5, PeterG wrote: > > Looking for some parts for a new to me San Marcos Frame/Fork: > Brake: Shimano Tiagra sidepulls > 9 speed cassette (11-32 or 11-34)... > Sugino crank: wide/low double (40t x 26t)...thinking I might save a little > weight going double, but not sure > Deraillers: Shimano cx70 Front & Shimano deore rear derailler > Possibly a lightish wheelset for my jack browns...(130mm rear spacing) all > my other sets are 135mm spacing & wont fit... > > Frame/Fork was a Christmas present.
