Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a set of Maillard hubs from around 1980ish.
The front hub is 96mm and the rear is 130mm OLN.
The frame that I want to use these hubs in has a rear dropout spacing of 126mm.
Is it possible to take some off the rear washers to reduce to 126mm?
If so, would it be best to take 4mm from the large washer on the freewheel side or 2mm off each side. Or some other combination?
Advice gratefully accepted
