The Sunshine Pro Om hubs are of exceptional quality; I've raced, trained and toured on them for over 25 years now (yes, the same pair of hubs, date stamp 1977!). Laced in new rims of course, but still running fine. The rear hub is now spaced at 130 mm. I did this by using a campy axle and cones. Note: The threads of the original axle are slightly different from the Campy axle, and the cones are slightly different too. Also, 130 mm is a little bit too much for the axle, so it might get bent a little. No problem.
So, if you have the parts lying around somewhere, you can make the swap to 130 mm and a 7 speed freewheel. Otherwise, use as is and enjoy all the same!
