7spd mtb.......is that 130 or 135mm?
either way, front will be 100.
assume no disc brakes....
what happened to the crank?
methought 520 would havea triple.
Looks like a triple to me.
I didnt realize it had 135 OLD Deore LX hubs originally. Shoulda looked closer [MENTION=433264]milofilo[/MENTION] The rear hub is a Deore LX Parallax, correct? Anything wrong with it right now? If not, as fietsbob suggests, just build a new wheel around it. You have a perfectly good hub of good quality as it is.
If you want new wheels, Deore or higher Shimano MTB hubs for rim brakes should be great.
