Re: Dura ace 8 speed wheelset

Is the rear 126mm?

Re:

Nope, rear should be 130, though with some messing with the spacers you can use it as 126mm.

Out of curiousity: does the freehub body takes standard shimano lockrings? I recall that DA UG was different from the rest of the Sh-line, but this is a HG freehub body. Will it take any standard shimano lockring?

thank you.

regards.

Re:

They will be OK in a 126mm spaced frame as they have domed lock nuts which make it easy to get them in.
I have the hubs on my De Rosa which is 126mm and they work a treat.

You won't need to change anything for them to work as they were designed for both 126mm and 130mm.

Re: Dura ace 8 speed wheelset

looks like its 130, and yes some spacers might be removed to do 126
takes a standard shim cassette

That front hub was not designed for radial lacing. I think it would be worth doing some very rigorous checking on just how safe that is. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html#radial

Re:

99.9999% of the cases it won't matter, if the hub was first laced radially.. the problems start when the hub was pre-laced with a different pattern and used in that way for years, and then got re-laced radially..

but if the original lacing was always radial, then it'll cope with the additional stress..
