Measure the distance between your rear-ends by using the arrows on this page.
For a 130mm axle, part S should be on the outside of the bike frame.
For a 135mm axle part S should be on the inside of the bike frame.
1. MEASURE YOUR BIKE
Depending on the distance between the rear-ends and thus the length of your axle,
part S should be inside or outside your frame.
