Wheels are off the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=55607 ]2011 Rocky Mountain Slayer 70[/url], only info they give on the wheelset is:

• Hubs (FR): RMB AM Carbon Sealed 20mm Axle
• Hubs (RR): RMB AM Sealed 12 x 142mm E Thru

I need a 135 x 12mm rear hub for the upcoming Mojo HD... waddayareckon STW, could the rear hub be adjusted to the smaller width? Is it just a spacer involved do you think?

Hmm as it's an OEM it may not be possible. Modular hubs like Hope etc do tend to carry a premium cause they are switchable. An OEM may have been specced as one type to save bunts.

Call or email Silverfish people to help maybe - they might know or be able to advise better.

Also - i could do with speaking to you about something... can you email me? manager@thebikechain.co.uk

Hmmm... so it's a standard 135mm hub with 2 x 3.5mm spacers? So would this mean that you could leave the spacers out and have a normal 135mm x 12mm hub setup? 😕
