S30 fork spacing

[kz22]

Does anyone happen to know what the spacing is for the S30 fork? I searched the forum unsuccessfully for the info. (Trying to determine if a wheel on Craigslist will fit.)

For the last iteration of the S30 (without front suspension), a 28 x 700c tire will fit. 32x700c is too wide.

It is the iteration of the S30 that you reference. But, I am referring to the spacing for the wheel at the axle. In other words, the front wheel needs replaced (it was damaged). I can't afford to replace it with what was damaged. So, I have found a different brand/model of wheel on Craigslist that I'm looking to buy--if it will fit. The wheel on CL is listed as having a 130 mm dropout width. I'm trying to determine if that will work. (I don't actually have the bike yet or I would simply measure it myself.)

As I remember, by the time the S30 was released, we had gone to 132.5 mm front fork dropout spacing, so that the fork would accept either 130 or 135mm hubs... so a 130mm hub should fit fine.

Thanks, Doug. I appreciate the info.

It is as Doug described. I've used both sizes (130 and 135 mm hubs) on my S30. Sorry about the earlier confusion.

Yup. As Doug says. I run 130mm on my S30, and it works perfectly. But so would 135mm.
