Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Chris King Hub question

A buddy gave me an old set of MTB rims with Chris King classic Hubs. Of course the front are spaced at 130mm, and the rear is spaced at the traditional MTB 135mm. Is there a way to change the rear to the standard 130mm for road bikes? If so, what part do I need from King? I looked on their website and couldnt find the info.
thanks
-j.

all you need is a spacer to make the rear 130mm (135mm for a mtb). ask your lbs if they have it, or have them order it for you.

i just converted a rear hub myself and it cost me all of 8 dollars.
