Now that I'm a little older and wiser (and have more money), I should have considered a rear hub that can convert between 130/135mm to gain some flexibility. I'm considering building up a 26" MTB for my wife and could have had another use. A modern road hub is also possible.

I know Chris King Classic hubs use different non-drive side caps to change the spacing of the hub:

King part numbers:
PHB504 axle end 130mm
PHB505 axle end 135mm
PHB506 axle end 140mm

I've read the threads that the lock nuts can be "shaved down" and other methods to remove 5mm from a 135mm hub, but wanted to know what hubs beside the Kings are designed to be adapted? I thought I read something about DT hubs but it wasn't clear.

Thanks!
