Rear spacing question
The new Atala bike I received this week has 126mm rear spacing. I was surprised to see the rear hub has 130mm spacing. The wheel goes on fine as long a you spread the frame a little, but I was wondering if this is an issue in any way? Also, does this mean I can switch to a 7 speed freewheel instead of the 6 spped it came with? Or am I missing something here? Would an 84 bike have come with a hub that has 130mm spacing, or was this maybe an upgrade?
Thanks in advance! Chris
