*What I really want to do is just get her a 650b Rivendell Mixte. But she is content with her Raleigh. Maybe I should just get her one anyway."*Just tell her "it wouldn't work" & get her the Rivendell. My wife was content with a substantially lesser bike, but after 5 minutes on (her now) Rivendell in a parking lot exclaimed "I gotta have this bike.....today.". Both of you will be much happier. Just my opinion, but given the data, yea, your wheelset w/spacer, etc., will work just fine on her bike. It's up to you to be able to pull this one off. Best of luck. dougP On Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 6:59:14 PM UTC-7, lum gim fong wrote: > > *Background:* > 700c LX hubs to A23 rims laced with Sapim Race butted spokes. 135 rear > spacing.
