I have a 1990 Moody Fox Courier Mega that has a 500LX FH-HG50 rear hub on it. I would like to have a new custom wheel built with a modern colored rim. I need some help in understanding the correct hub to get for this new wheel.
I found this web site that states the rear hubs of that generation are:
Shimano Freewheel Hub:
Deore XT FH-M732
Deore DX FH-M650
Deore LX FH-M550
Exage 500LX FH-HG50
Will either the Deore DX/XT work? It is my understanding that my 7-speed freewheel is narrower then all the current hubs at somewhere between 127mm and 130mm, I am not sure. But I saw a listing today that says my aws 130mm, 135mm. So all in all I am a bit confused and am seeking some insight from some experts.
