Change Powertap hub axle to 135mm
Quote | Reply
I was thinking about a little project putting my old G3 powertap hub on my Surly Long Haul Trucker to have a killer winter-time training bike. Problem is, the rear spacing on the Surly is 135mm - PowerTap is standard road bike,130mm. I've squeezed the frame to fit a 130mm road wheel in it but it's a pain to do.

Is it possible to swap the axle in a PowerTap G3 hub to a longer 135mm?

Found this article that gets close but no cigar on the subject.

It looks like you can just change the end cap for slightly longer one Powertap used Novatech parts B1 on older ones B2 on the newer ones. Or there is this https://www.wish.com/...vD_BwE&share=web

You'd want to put that on the non-drive side and redish the wheel.
