I thought I remembered reading on here that someone makes spacers for doing this? I can't seem to find them. I'm assuming I'll have to space in my caliper, but will it F up my chain line? Probably not, right? 3.5 mm is not much...
Running a 150 mm rear wheel on a 157 mm spaced frame. Possible?

this may be a stupid question, but have you looked to see if you hub has a conversion kit available? 135mm hubs are able to convert to 142, and 150mm to 157. If you haven't already, check to see if there is a kit available for your hub. My Hadley's have a conversion kit available, and is very easy to install.
Not sure on where to get the spacers. The 3.5mm does not change the chain line or caliper spacing as it extends into the dropout.
Hope pro2 hubs convert over
What frame? Many 157mm rear ends can be converted down to 150, although you'd be better off converting the hub as then you get the easy axle installation that 157 was developed for.
It's a Specialized Roval (?) hub. I'll have to look into that. Maybe there's a conversion kit for those.
The frame is an NS Fuzz. Yeah, I'd rather go the hub route, for that reason.
