When you asked this question in the mechanics forum http://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-me...questions.html, you made it sound like you were using one wheel on 2 different bikes, which can be done, not the what you are describing in this thread with one frame and two hub sizes

One wheel, two different bikes. Wanting to convert my 145mm OLD to 135mm and use the 142x12 on the new frame designed for it. Different questions for the overall concept in the two different forums. Did reference in the OP that I wanted my chromoly frame resized to 135mm and may consider the 142x12TA convert...
