Hi,

Looking for a way to get a 135mm OLN Campy compatible hub.
Anyone try putting the Campy rotor on a 135mm DT 240 hub ?

I want to be set for the new Campy 12 ElectroChorus. ;-)

Nick Payne machined his own Campy end caps using a lathe to get a hub with 135mm spacing. Hold on a minute, as I try to find the link.

Hi Scott,

White Industries and Tune Campy compatible hubs can be modified to 135mm spacing quite easily. I can provide either hub at 135mm if you need it. As another person noted, one could make a new threaded end cap for a Campy hub and make it 135mm. Though, I am not sure this would make you ready for "electrochorus" 12 speed. If Campy is going to go to 135mm spacing and 12 speeds, they are probably going to increase the length of the cassette body. If that is true, you would need to modify the hub again to accept the 12 speeds. However, if you go to 135mm at the current 10 speed standard, your rear wheel will be alot stronger and your frame will be ready for a future change to 135mm.

I hope this helps,

Jeremy.
