Orbit frame OLN
Hi
wonder if anyone can advise
i have an orbit tandem that is running a 135 OLN rear hub........all the current orbits seem to be 145 OLN ............is 135 an unusual size for a tandem or at leasst an orbit tandem.?.....might this frame have been closed from 145 to 135 .?
i’m considering changing the hub/wheel arrangement so am investigating the options
cheers

All Orbit tandems I've come across are 145mm OLN. Our Orbit Velocity 9 model dates back to the early 2000's and is 145mm - maybe earlier models were narrower?
If it is an alloy frame, then it's unlikely to have been closed up by as much as 10mm as I suspect this would have cracked the material - alloy doesn't like being bent.
Might be worth emailing J D Tandems with your serial number and they may be able to advise from their database records.
