You could get them with a 130mm axle or a 135mm axle. Most of them will have been 135, because by the time they were produced, MTB frame production had gone over to 135mm almost without exception.

Black chainring, and u brake? Then done..........for now.
Such a lovely thing, seemed a shame to cover it in guards, lights etc.

This was mentioned yesterday before the great axle debate started.
Shall I go and measure the current wheels and the parallax ones to settle whether or not I'm committing frame abuse to the grand total of 2.5mm per side?

Then what happens is that you learn from your mistakes and move on. Next time you measure if in doubt or offer it up first.
Or just go with the build the night before and twat it when you get a puncture

Personally, i'd love to know the OLD of your 7-speed STX-RC parallax hub.
