There absolutely were! I converted a Shimano Exage 7-speed rear hub from 130mm spacing to 126mm for my rando bike, since that was an easy and inexpensive way to get a 36h 7-speed hub. Converting from 135mm spacing to 130mm spacing would be just as easy. Just cut about 5mm of length from the rear axle with cones installed, and use them to chase the threads on their way off. Then reassemble the hub with 4-5mm less spacer on the NDS and re-dish.

And [MENTION=98880]9volt[/MENTION]'s got the hook-up.
