What's OLN?

If its 120 between drop outs then whats the problem? Just perhaps need some of those special chamfered nuts to put a fixie on the turbo trainer?

Or elaborate a bit more on the problem??

Expensive nuts?

That must be what I need to make the axle wide enough to fit, ta.

Just tested my Poyner in the tacx sartori. It is close and i had to unwind the drive side right out to the max -about 2.5", but it does fit. Not clamped anywhere near as tightly as the road bike, but it will fit without the tacx locknuts.

Actually 120mm for a track bike is right.

Before things got 'interesting' in the the world of MTBs the standards were 120, 130 and 135 for Track, Road and Mountain bike/Touring respectively.

23 years of biking and I've never felt like my life was any the worse for not knowing what OLN stood for ๐Ÿ˜‰
