Evening all,

been looking at a pair of these wheels:

SCS stands for short chain stay, and it seems like if you have bought an SCS spesh bike with these wheels, you are very limited as to what you can put on them - assuming I have read the various posts correctly.

The law of sod now dictates I can find NONE of the post and discussion threads I found earlier in the week, but IIRC it appears the hub is a custom hybrid formed out of a road hub and an mtb hub, and I believe is effectively 132.5mm in width (I predict I am wrong here)
But what I am struggling to get my head around, is that if an SCS equipped bike can only take wheels of this type with this hub, how can these wheels fit onto a non Specialized SCS bike?

    There are other frames on the market with 132.5 spacing. It means you can fit both 130 and 135. The disc standard is 135. I think you are panicking for no particular reason
