As someone who just recently had several spokes rip out of the rim due to metal fatigue on a 20 year pair of wolbers, this is a timely find.
But there is something that I feel that I am still missing, in what are the physical differences between the existing 130mm 8 speed hub you use/mention, and a current 130mm 10 speed hub, providing you found one that used the 6mm spacing between the cassette back and the flange. Do current hubs not use the same width in spacers, and therefore cannot be pared down in the same way?
Sorry if this has been expressed in different terms, my head's been a bit thick of late. But this could give me a few more years on my old c'dale.
