Hi,
I upgraded my bike from an old diamondback to a Trek 5200. I have a set of
tubular race wheels for my old (1991) 7-speed Shimano diamondback that I'd
really like to use on my new 9-speed Shimano. I've read that I may be able
to swap the freewheel body with a new 9-speed one. I've also read that you
shouldn't try to use a 130mm hub on a 126mm bike. what about going the
other way? Can I use a shim (or a pair of shims) on my 126mm old hub (with
a new 9-speed freehub body)?
Also, if I use my old front wheel (126mm) on my new bike, do I need to put
some spacers inside the dropouts?
thanks,
Bob
