Hi,
I have a White Industries disc ready rear hub with 130mm rear dropout spacing. I bought it for my mountain bike and realized that it's the wrong size (mtb rear dropout spacing is 135mm). Well it is perfect for a tandem bike. I am asking $85 shipped to anywhere in continental US. For those who aren't familair with White Industries, they are one of premier boutiqe hub producers in US and has reputation equal to Chris King. Email me if you are interested. My email is jchhsu@hotmail.com

Except that modern tandems have 145 or 160 mm spacing, and older ones may have 140. In other words this is a road bike hub. See: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_sp-ss.html#spacing

Indeed. And if it helps, the hub can also be used on a bike that does not have disk brakes.
