YO. My new frame has 135mm rear hub spacing and I have 2 wheelsets that are 150mm that I built for my old frame. My 150mm hubs are Hadley and I'm thinking of just swapping them out with 135mm's and selling the old hubs. I assume the flange spacing is the same between them so I can just use the old spokes?
you should buy spokes if you wanna have your wheel stay true. the other ones are already stressed and will not lace up with uniform tension. it could work but it will be halfass

Personally, I like Hope Pro II's the best, mainly because they don't cost an arm and a leg. They even include the loudest engagement clicking you've ever heard.
My friend had a combo one day of Hope Pro II hubs and a Chumba F5 (Without any tape on the swingarm) so it was the loudest thing you've ever heard. Every time we passed someone at Northstar they graciously pulled over...and WTFed.
Yeah, it did look nice in white but, I've had too many white bikes and that's all they had in stock. The raw is looking pretty sweet. I need to steel wool it a bit more.
I think it will look great raw. I really should have stripped the paint off my 222 before I built it up, besides the powdercoat job is pretty **** quality (done by the person I brought it off).

Yeah. Worked like a charm. Took me about 2 hours to get the job done. Wear a chemical mask and googles and don't get that stuff on you. It burns like a @#$%'er. I wore a mask and still woke up with headache.
Yeah, had the 223 for 3 seasons. Beat the @#$!# of out it too New frame is sweet. I'm waiting for the hubs so I can't ride it yet. It weights 10.57lbs with ti spring.
