(i) where to buy a 126 mm cassettte hub, or
(ii) how to easily slim down a readily available 130mm hub to 126 OLD.

I do not wish to to ' freewheel.'
The reason for this question is that I'm thinking about buying an '84 Cannondale ST400 in decent shape. Re-spacing the frame is out.
Your advice will be appreciated.

you would need to look used. I would suggest looking for ultegra 6400/600 tricolor hub. https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.a...9-0df1afa9bef0

I had those on my 89 miyata 1400...great hubs and HG. 126mm so no issues with jamming or redoing or redishing

C&V for sale might be a good place to start with a WTB. here is a recent example
