Giant road bike axle spacing

bikermartin · 2014-04-26 21:14:50

I am going to see a giant road bike ( I think its an ocr 4) and I believe it has 14 gears. would this mean that it would have 126 mm rear axle spacing or would it be the standard 130mm 10 speed wheel with a 7 speed cassette fitted. I don't want to buy a bike and only be stuck with 7 speed drivetrain ?

I have found out the bike im going to see has a 7 speed cassette. would this mean than it has 126mm spacing so cant be converted to 8 or 9 speed cassette as it requires 130 mm. I m on the verge of pulling out of the sale now as I don't want to be stuck with 7 speed.
