I have a NOS 126 mm Shimano Deore XT threaded rear hub that I had purchased a long time ago as a
wheel-building project for an older bike. I have a Sun CR18, 36-hole rim and double-butted spokes to
match it, but now I don't need a spare for an older bike. Is it practical to convert the hub to 130
mm with spacers and longer axle? Does the lack of a cassette and the 36-hole rim , which are so far
from modern standards, make me better off to get rid of the pieces and start a new wheel project?
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Phil.
