Old skool Deore DX is nicer than modern LX, IMO.
If you did that, it would be set up like my Bridgestone. You lose a couple of cogs, but 7 speed cogs are thicker and will last longer. The spacer you need is 4.5mm. The disadvantage is that you have a 7 speed wheel with as much dish as a nine speed wheel. Normally a 7 speed wheel is stronger because it has less dish.
