130mm spacing is on road bikes. Most MTBs have 135mm spacing (unless you are in downhill). So no worries about that.

comment How does one test the freewheel?
Failed == it does not work. Simples! Care to elaborate your question? Do you have a specific problem with your freewheel, or that is a pure theoretical question?

comment (V-)Brake pad lifespan
mud is an enemy of any kind of pads, especially v-break pads. Once I had to change perfectly new disk break pads after 40 miles on sandy path in very wet conditions. Tread break pads as consumables.

evanscycles.com/products/trek/… says you have "Tektro Novela mechanical disc brakes" which are cheap and nasty breaks. I'd strongly recommend replacing them if they cause you a headache.

That is very interesting question! What kind of brakes do you have? Never encountered that kind of problem with disk brakes.

+1 for chain tool checker. The only reliable way to tell the chain is due a replacement.

comment Safety Bike Tail Light with Directional Signals
@Robert dark surroundings are not the most dangerous ones. The biggest problems seeing cyclists from my drivers seat is when it rains and there is light from oncoming traffic.
