I have a miche racing rear hub with is 130 wide.
I'd like to convert it to 135, I'm not bothered about dish etc, but can a simple spacer be used, or does one have to rebuild the hub?
Thanks

    Simple maths would suggest a 2.5mm spacer each side would do the job and keep the wheel centered between the dropouts. But then your axle would be 5mm too short. If you can find a 5mm longer axle you'll be sorted (I'm assuming it's a QR type hollow axle here)

    It's not a threaded axle, is it? You can only respace threaded axles
