Adapting narrower hub rear wheel to wider dropout
Adapting narrower hub rear wheel to wider dropout
I have a MTB with rear wheel inside dropout distance of 135mm (26" wheels). I decided I wanted a narrower wheel for city use, so I go a 1.5" wheel. It works OK, except that I have to use spacers and/or washers to take up the extra 10mm of space (I'm assuming that the hubs of fat-tire wheels are 10mm or so wider than the hub of my 1.5" wheel). That may be why I have broken the axel every few months. Are there 1.5" wheels that have wider hubs to fit wider MTB frames?
