Converting a Shimano hub 130 to 135mm wheel
In this video I demonstrate how to convert a Shimano hub that has a 130mm OLN (Over lock nut dimension) to a 135mm. This enable you to use a wheel that was once built with a 130mm axel spacing to a larger 135 spacing. This same procedure can be done for 126 to 130. You would only want to do this if you already have a rear wheel, that could be used on another frame.

This is exactly my case, as I need to do the same. Special thanks for the explanation about correcting the center of the wheel!
Very clear and practical advice. Each steps is provided with needed information including sizes of wrenches, and specifications for completion of a properly dished wheel. ATBOY comments as to how to do this with and without special equipment so that an interested bike rider can give it a try using the bike itself as a work stand (and truing stand).. I'm building a Tiagra 4700 1x10 equipped bike, with vintage Specialized RockHopper pro aluminum frame. My extra set of Mavic CXP 77 road bike wheels have a 130mm OLD Ultegra hub. I'm simply going to use my workbench, with a simple vice to convert the hub to a 135mm axle, using this video as a guide. I'll dish the wheel as shown while it's mounted in the frame, and true it. I have no special equipment, except a spoke wrench. Of course, I need 110mm v-brakes to fit the 700c rim (larger diameter than the original wheels); and I'm using a Tiagra caliper brake on a Cannondale carbon fiber front fork. The seat post, banana handlebars and other parts are also carbon fiber. For those who think this is crazy, keep in mind that Specialized is one of the 3 largest bike manufacturers in the world. The company was started in 1983 by a few guys in California who cobbled together bikes like the RockHopper out of available parts - moving the entire industry into a new understanding of the wisdom in combining the speed of road bikes, strength of "paperboy bikes" and assembly practices of vintage bikes with frame geometry they experimented with to make any number of "Frankenbikes" which may suit your needs better than anything else you can buy. ATBOY's video is exactly what you need to solve the problem of taking a cheap (or high end) 700c road bike wheel, and putting it into a cheap (or very high end) vintage frame. (If you are concerned about the frame geometry, understand that you can use various stem/steerer lengths to change the feel of the frame in cornering at higher speeds.) And if you think the frame is too slow, you should probably work out a little more.
