There are several factors at play. First, of course, is whether or not the current end caps are those which receive a 5mm hex wrench. If so, then you can move on to the next step. If not, then either a special press,or Phil Wood, will be needed. Next step, make sure the drive-side end cap (if

I also did this (130 to 135) last year - just replaced the non-drive side. I did it with the early style hub - used my automotive ball joint press. Laing On Friday, May 15, 2020 at 8:45:59 AM UTC-4, Ginz wrote: > I went from 130 to 135 and recall I did have to redish a little bit > because

I went from 130 to 135 and recall I did have to redish a little bit because they only replace one cap in this scenario. I don’t remember which side. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

I went up from 130 to 135 and I think I did have mine redished by Rich. I think it may be dependent on the freewheel cog number you want to run and the frame sizing jump up or down that determines that. It's been a few years now so I can't recall really. On Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 7:04:47 PM

You don't have to re-dish, I used correspondingly shorter end caps on each side to bring mine down from 135 to 130. But Alex's bigger problem is his older 126 hub doesn't use the easily replaceable caps I had, Phil needs to do it for him. Super not cheaply! -- You received this message

I’ve got a Phil freewheel hub spaces to 135 that I’ve used on my Appaloosa. You need the correct length axel caps and then re-dish the wheel. I’ll be got an email with axel cap lengths from Phil that I’ll try to dig up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I also did this but my hub was older and didn't have the field serviceable axel. I mailed it in and they switched the end caps with a press. Cost me not a ton of money, but I don't recall how much. Email their customer service and I bet they can get you set up. > -- You received this
