I'm struggling to find a decent quality rear disc hub with an OLD of 130mm.
It's for an aluminium frame so I don't think cold setting the frame to take a 135mm hub would be a good idea.
suggestions or links would be very welcome

Re: disc hub????
It seems even Shimano road hubs, R505, are 135mm. I thought it would be a simple case of taking a small spacer off the NDS of the axle but then the disc didn't fit in the caliper though thinking about it now if I moved the caliper on the mount it might work.

Looking at my frame, the clearance between the frame and the disc is very small - (a couple of mill) I don't think even if I reduced the spacers on the hub on both sides by 2.5mm it would be satisfactory, the clearances would just be too small.

some suggestions;
-space a 135 hub to 132.5mm; that should go into a 130mm frame OK
- use a smaller rear disc
-take a careful look at a centrelock disc hub; is it possible to reverse the disc on its mounting/adapter and respace the hub any?
cheers

I've got CL hubs on both sets of wheels and will have play with this idea in the morning.

Just tried this and the wheel fitted in the dropouts a treat, disc dropped in the calliper perfectly. Getting the wheel to turn a whole rotation was a different matter, the calliper hit the 'spider' of the disc mount
Re: disc hub????
ah, a partial success then. I wonder if a centrelock to six-bolt adaptor or a different centrelock disc or caliper would fix it?
cheers
