I heard that even Shimano does something. I know that Hope has some, but I want to do it on the cheap if I can. I have tabs on the cross bike, and need a new rear hub any way. I have one from Wumpus I could use, but I also have some Hayes Mech Ones that could go on there.
Can you respace an XT hub ( IE take out a Spacer ) I don't think the Road gruop-os and MT group-os are compatailbe as far as axels go. I know it use to be the case the Off road Used larger Bearingings that the Road stuff , and the axel wasa little thicker for them. But they may have changed , knowing shimano , I doubt it.

I'm talking about using a 105 or such axle, and using an XT body. I am going to measure hubs now.
OK - I am too lazy to pull an Ultegra wheel, but glancing they look the same. I can use different bearings likely. It's worth trying if I can find some used parts. They use the same skewer, so I am thinking they are the same size axle. I don't know why they wouldn't be. I'm getting the quality book out now.
It's not just the axles though - it's the spacers and/or the end caps as well. The 130 or 135 measure is a measure of locknut face to locknut face. You might be able to pull out some spacers or grind down the locknuts.

I'm going to use the entire axle and such from a 105 hub that has 130mm spacing. I'll take some pics as I do it. I hope the shop has a hub. If not, I'll order one and do it when I get back from Orlando next week.
