Sorted WTB: 700c wheelset with a 135mm rear end (or easily convertible)

[jody_husky]

Hey, I'm building a Trek Multitrack and having a hard time finding a wheelset to match the 135mm rear spacing. These could be readily specced with the correct width hub, or convertible with end caps (Hope etc.) or with a longer axle (Shimano). The wider internally the better. This is obviously a big ask especially with a budget of £50-100, but will consider quality sets over this too. Thanks.

Got a set of black Mavic CXP21 on Sora hubs, I'll happily swap the axle for you. Could do £70 posted, but you would need a bit of spoke key time to re-dish. It'll be about a turn off the drive side nipples and onto the non-drive.
The hubs are SMOOOTH, filled with marine grease and used as winter / light touring wheels. DT DB spokes, so a decent build.

Thanks for offering. I'm primarily looking at 18mm or more internal width though. If I'd compromise on the width the wheels would need to be lighter.

As I pointed out to you on LFGSS, a rear Dura Ace/Open Pro on a 130mm axle is only 250g lighter than the new 135mm/19mm internal rear wheel that I linked you to on ebay. You're chasing unoicorns if you want a 135mm wheelset with wide rim that's as light as a top end hub/narrower rim wheelset!
