IRS Track Width - 59" or 59.5" ?

[karlos]

Build manual says 59", but it seems like a lot of folks go with 59.5". Is there a compelling reason to go with one over the other?

Thanks.

I went with 59" per the manual. I ended up buying 1" wheel spacers to get the rear wheels to properly fill the wheel well. If you go with 59.5" you will be closer. My wheels have the same offset and back space as the FFR Halibrands.

On another note there was an issue with rear axles from FFR being too short. If you go to 59.5" and have axles that are too short you might run into problems.
