Ok I look in the thersaurus for a word other than problem and it actually listed 'can of worms'

So here is the issue. I have a older 105 SC wheel/hub and the spacing is not right. It it is the pearl finish and I think the model number is 1055 or 56 it is wiped of a bit, but it does not have Intigrated 8 on it, should it? There is an 8spd freehub body on it but the locknut barely protrudes past the lockring of the cassette or the body for that matter. The locknut spacing is just shy of 130 at 129.xxx.

I am asuming either someone stuck the 8spd body on an 7spd hub and did not change the axle. Or a 8spd hub was respaced to make it fit the bike this wheel came off of.

WHat is the simplest way to make it a 135 spaced hub again?

I have a STX 7 MTB hub here can I use the axle and spacers and put that in the 105 hub w/ the 105 cones? Or is there a good source to simply get a complete 105 spd axle set.


Thanks for your help and I will give any additional info you may want. I am not sure if pics will help but I'll post them if you want them.
