    Except if they change BB or axle spacing standards, which seems to be happening every few years.

    I struggled to find a half decent 135 QR 29er wheel last year for my Trek Xcaliber. A nearly $2000CDN bike from 2016 with nothing wrong except the free hub, and everywhere told me to just get a new bike.

    I like my bikes, but I really hate the people running the industry.
