HUB SPACING AND DISH OFFSET FOR 2007 ENDURO


Hi, I have a Specialized Enduro SL Pro from 2007. I am thinking of replacing the wheels, but can’t find what the hub spacing is. Also, I heard something about Specialized off setting the drop outs. Did they do this with the Enduro as well?
Thanks
Joseph

Plus: An obscure punk rock reference.







Hey Joseph,

Great bike. I’ve rocked mine on a wide range of terrain from smooth flow to DH gnar. Here’s some smooth flow:









Hub spacing: Your mighty 2007 Enduro uses standard MTB rear spacing, which is 135mm. Any “normal” QR hub will work—especially if it’s purple.

Rear dish: Some Specialized mountain bikes do have asymmetrical rear ends. This lets you build a wheel with zero dish, which is stronger and more punk rock than a standard dished rear wheel. However, according to this article—Specialized asymmetrical rear ends—your Enduro has a standard rear end.









How to tell for sure: Slap a wheel in there. If the rim/tire are 6mm too far to the drive side, get a spoke wrench and pull them back to center.

Anarchy burger. Hold the government please.

    The mention of an ‘obscure punk rock reference’ caught my attention. Nice. I haven’t listened to the Vandals in a loong time. “The grass is never greener on the other side, I’ll sit right here and frolic in the dirt and gravel… Let the bad times roll.”
