hey, well i sold my rear wheel off my 223 and thought it was 150mm spacing. but the person who bought it says that it was 135mm
so im wondering for any owners out there, what is the hub spacing required if the floating brake is on there
thanks

There are two types of swingarms for the Orange:

If your swing arm is running straight towards the dropouts your spacing is 135mm.

If your swing arm is bend and welded in the middle of the chainstays your spacing is 150mm.

Spacing doesn't depend on floating brake adapter, otherwise the brake wouldn't fit.

The 223 was 150mm, if you have a floater, the hub will be narrower to accommodate the floater, so the hub could have been 135mm, but there wouldn't be a cone/endcap on the disc side meaning the hub would be useless, not to mention the dish of the wheel would be off by a bit......

i think thats what happened with mine
how would i get a new wheel that fits with the floater?
is it simply a 135mm hub? or some werid dished 150mm without an end cap?
