Great question, and I’ve had a different result. I’ve got a Silver Hub

my Sergio Green Roadini frame, without much fuss. 2.5 mm on each side is
not much. No mechanical spreading, etc. in fact, the silver hub was
I had a Roadini and attempted to put my 135mm ENO hub in the back. It was a
no go—the frame was too stiff to bend out. Maybe being the eccentric hub
made this more difficult.
By comparison, I had no issue putting a 135mm hub in my old 130mm BMC
Monstercross, or a 130mm hub in my 126mm old road

Check with Rivendell to see if this a safe option. I would think it is. I
have a mix of both 130 and 135 OLD bikes in the mix with a few 140mm. My
1987 Schwinn Voyageur is 130mm that I have a 132.5 wheelset mounted on.
Pretty sure the frame was 126mm OLD prior to me getting it. Settled on that

I deleted the listing and now have a more complete list of what's up for

Joe,
You have a very cool bike that is not very common. I cannot say what the
"right" price is, but there are a few ways to improve your chance of
selling it:
1. Make the bike look its best. Give it a good wash and pump up the
tires. A bike with flat tires looks like a neglected bike.
I have one with an 11-30 cassette and it works well.

Generally, with Shimano road derailleurs the short and long cage versions
usually had about the same max cog specification, around 27 or 28t. The
difference was that the longer cage one had enough capacity that it could
handle a triple in front.
The general consensus around here is that
Concur with Jeremy:
12-27 no problem
11-28 no problem
11-32 probably

Hi folks,
Very high chance of this going nowhere! I picked up a 60cm silver Sam

I have a 6500 series Ultegra RD with a long cage. Anyone know the range of
cassette I should be able to work with? I believe the short cage can take
28, but I can't find the long cage max anywhere...any help is appreciated!

Hi Joe, my $0.02
It seems like two sets of wheels will come with the bike? If so put that
in your FS description too. Its a reasonable asking price as a starting
point, since it also has lighting and a generator hub. You will likely get
some bites if you are willing to ship, or help with

I think a coaster clem would be sick! The Mone hub builds are based on the
shimano CBE110 hub. I think for your application an off the shelf CBE110
would do the job just fine. You would however need to space it out to
135mm. The stock axle is likely not long enough so you'd need to install a

There's nothing wrong with shoving a 135mm rear wheel into a 130mm frame.
If it were me, I'd respace my 135mm rear wheel to 130mm and re-dish the
wheel, but I'm a mechanic and I have the axles in my workshop. Likely
nothing bad will happen if you take the short cut, but it's always OK to do
BTW, regarding spreading the rear.

If you have parts that work for 135 rear and you are not setting it up for
roadie riding (which I am just guessing because of the dynamo wheelset)
then it might make sense to try a different Riv frame. The main difference
with the Roadini is a slightly more road oriented geometry. And even that

I suppose I should have mentioned it would be a 57cm frame. Love the mix of
