Good afternoon!

Just curious, could I respace my Phil Wood 135mm to 145mm??

PS - I want to throw them on a Co-Motion Americano.

Straight from their website:

I have an old Phil rear hub and want to know if it can be converted to a different spacing.

In almost all cases, the answer is “yes.” Please contact us at (408) 298-1540 or at service@philwood.com to receive a return authorization number (RA #) in order to send the hubs in to us. Please know your current hub spacing as well as the new spacing needed so we can best assist you.
