I think that the rear drop outs on my Cannondale t2000 cadd2 and my Trek 7.3FX are the same 135mm. They are both 8 speed too. I need to measure this to be sure, but it may make some sense to buy a good wheelset and use it for both bikes. Or maybe I should get the LBS to do the repair for me at their cost? Seems that they could have told me about the suitablity or lack there of? What says the forum?
I'm a total noob and have no knowledge of wheels except that they are supposed to be round. If my LBS told me I could get a fix for the problem you describe for $50, I'd probably give it a shot, especially if they agreed to credit the cost (or a portion of it) toward a custom wheel build if their solution turned out not to do the trick.
