Mistake with new frame purchase
 
I picked up a Bianchi San Jose frameset and didn't realize until now the rear is spaced at 130 mm not 120 as I thought. My rear wheel is 120 mm... So I have read about adding spacers but my wheels are black and was thinking about changing to silver anyway... My question is will any ss 130 mm hub fit correctly as far as chain line is concerned?? Was going to have a new rear wheel built and I know my shop will know exactly what to do however I would like to order a hub tonight or a 130 mm ss rear wheel already built up. Anything I need to watch for or would it be best to wait to talk with my local shop ?

Having taken apart a wrecked bianchi san jose complete and swamping over the parts to another frameset for a buddy, spacers are the name of the game.

Bianchi sells the complete with 5mm spacers on each side of the rear hub and a 2.5 - 3mm? spacer (it's been awhile since) on the driveside of the BB shell for what it's worth.

I will see if I can find the Bianchi parts. I am leaning more towards going with silver rims/hubs over my current black ones so wondering if any ss 130mm hub will work ?

The only difference between a 120mm hub and 130mm hub is the length of the axle and the amount of spacers. The chainline is measured from the center of the frame, so the hub body has to be the same.
