"In general, mountain bikes will have 135 mm spacing, "road bikes 120 to 130, depending on their age, and track bikes 110 to 120 depending on their age. If in doubt, you should measure:"

If your road bike has a 120mm rear dropout, and you don't the bearings dying quickly because of a lack of sealing, go ahead.

They are Navigator Pistas rather than Avigato Istas.

Not recommended on a road bike then really?

Whilst you may be able to fit a longer axle to the hub with some spacers to fit your frame, the wheels themselves have only one fixed sprocket which wouldn't be compatible with your drivetrain.
