I have a 2008 iron horse yakusa ojiki, the question is, does anybody have one? and if they do is it supposed to have a 150 mm rear axle or a standard 135 rear axle?
I have measured the distance between the two chainstays at rest, and it is 140mm.
I bought the bike 2nd hand and it came with a shimano standard 135 quick release setup, the reason i ask is that when i tighten the rear quick release, the chainstays are forced together by quite a margin and when i grab the tyre with one hand and the seat with the other and laterally rock the rear wheel it seems to flex quite a bit.
Can't find any information on this bike anywhere on the net, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

    It will be 135mm as 150 are 12mm axels.

  • That was what i thought, but speaking to a mate earlier today confused me a little, i guess the flex is normal then, many thanx :roll: :D
