my guess is the late 80's bike had five speeds and he is replacing it with a single speed so the change in dish will likely result in a change in required spoke lengths. (the hub dimensions will not be the same - I would think the flange to flange distance will be greater for the single speed)

Reason: stated "hub to hub" and meant "flange to flange" distance
