If the current wheel has a 130 Shimano or similar hub, it should be
easy enough to add a 1 mm spacer to each side of the hub, giving a 132
spacing that will be very easy to deal with. I have a pair of 105's
with 2 mm on each side to fit a bike that's 135 and it's fine. Wheel
dish and alignment
I'd make sure he knows that it's quicker to do a rear wheel R R if you move
the chain to the outermost gears in both the front and back. Then you can just
push down on the rear der cage to move the cahin completly away and teh wheel
will drop out. Assuming you have opened up the brake quick
First look at the wheel. Lots of times there're axle spacers in there you
could just mess around with those to get where you need to go. Just
remember to adjust one-half each side to keep things centered (since your
friend is a klutz; I can relate).

In addition to making sure he knew the proper technique for getting
the wheel in and out... I'd ask him why he gets frustrated, and coach
him not to get so attached to his wishes, but to stay in the present
moment and enjoy life as it unfolds. The Zen of wheel changing as it
were.

PS, I
I have a 130mm Phil free hub that I needed to respace to fit in my
135mm kogswell pr. I bought a longer axle end cap for the left (non-
dive side of the hub). This pushed the hub center toward the right
side. I redished the rim to get it back to center. This removed some
dish from the driveside
Oh yeah...I used to have a Ram and I never found the extra 2.5mm a
problem with removal or replacement. BTW...the Phil hub I described in
a previous post is the one that used to be on the Ram and I did
respace it for the Kogs
