If you were speccing a new 'cross frame, and had the choice of 130mm or 135mm rear dropouts, what would you go for?
Whilst I'm defo gonna run cantis for a while, the rise of discs seems inevitable, so it would be daft not to make sure the frame is disc compatable.
But then the question of rear hub spacing comes up. There's hardly any 130mm rear disc hubs out now, yet cross bikes are nearly all 130mm. So I reckon we're heading one of 2 ways, either bike companies will adopt the 135mm mtb standard and embrace all the exisiting quality and affordable hubs already out there. Or, they will stick with 130mm and force hub manufacturers to adapt to them and start making 130mm rear disc hubs.
So, if you were speccing a frame now, which way would you jump? or would you hedge your bets and go for 132.5?
