Surly 130mm hub

[mds101]

After losing my losing my Singlecross I've been weighing up the pros and cons of different new framesets and decided that best option is just to convert my bob jackson end to end. I don't use it much anymore so would be great to get it back on the road.

Spacing is for 130mm hub and I don't want to be squeezing the frame for 120 or using huge spacers on a standard fixed hub, so probably going to go with a surly ultranew 130mm hub, chainline is a bit wider than standard 42 which I think will mean I don't need to worry to much about the size of a chainring and interference with the chainstay.

Anyone use the Surly? Any problems with set up or problems in use in the long term?

Not sure if it's the same ones but I've got a Surly singlespeed hub on my mtb. Had its first maintenance a couple of weekends ago when the bearings finally died after 4 years or so of off road neglect. The bike had been ridden year round through whatever was thrown at it and hosed down when it got too heavy.

So I'd say an overall positive experience.
