I would like to build a durable rear wheel for my touring bike which has 135mm spacing. I already have a Hope Pro3 on a Mavic A719, but it has a 130mm rear spacing. I don't think Hope do a 135mm version. It has already done 8000 laden touring miles without any issues. I suppose could compress the difference with the QR, but I don't like doing that.
I've found a new 36h Chris King hub spaced to 135mm for around £150. Are there any others I should consider?

That said Goldtec/BETD make some lovely kit
Does it matter if the hub has disc holes?
shimano lx hub from Spa Cyles Harrogate.
fantastic quality and cheap too.

Probably not, it just looks neater.
