Hubs don't care what size wheel their laced to. Of course, hub width has changed (increased) over the years, and road rims changed from 27 inch to 700c. Thus, if you're looking for pre-built wheels, you won't find certain combinations. If you are OK with having wheels built (or can do it yourself), then you can create many more combinations.
