Rob's reply: Ok.

Are there any special problems that I'll have

in building up this hub shell, designed for 124 spacing

but now with 120 spacing?

Shell is the same. >> Yes, I would like to add, ALL SHELL are SAME from 1960 non Record scripted high(large) flange hubs to mid 70's ones. I am a crazy Reord hub collector, currently I have 3 pairs of older non scripted hubs, and 15 more pairs! I have not seen any chage in the SHELL for 28 years! They only changed shafts, and locking nuts/spacers for 5,6, and 7 speeds. So, I can not agree with following comment.

<<Rob's reply: Actually, they aren't. The flange to flange difference

between this campy hub (dated 1965 by the lock nut date) and a

somewhat newer (mid 70s) campy high flange is distinct and

we would have to defenestrate the notion I think many of us

hold closely that Campy paid attention to the details. The

flange to flange difference is what first led me to think

I might be able to fit an ultra 6 on the newer hub even

with 120 spacing. The wheel on the Cinelli right now appears

to have very little dish to it at all. Something I chalked up

to the wider flange to flange dimension. >>
