I wonder if Parallax or whatever, is Shimano interchangeable. Seems like it would be. The rear on the bike stock is a 7 speed cassette type, and I have a 9 speed mountain wheel set which might be a good donor if I can pull it off. I am building another 9sp mountain bike, and I am not going to be using those original wheels due to hourglass brake wear. I have an NOS set of grey Deore LX hubs, and got a set of Rhyno Lite rims for them, that I am going to have built for the mtb. I have not had my local guy build a set of rims in a loooooong time, but he is an artist, and works cheap! He rebuilt a set of wheels for my 84 Trek 520, and they only went out of true once on the first ride and barely noticeable unless put on the truing stand. Once straightened they have been perfect, and have never warped even a mm since then.
