    Any hub that takes a freewheel, which is different from the ones that take cassettes. With a freewheel hub, you can change the over-locknut-dimension (OLD) spacing and convert a 6-speed 126 mm OLD to a 5-speed 120 mm OLD if you need to. Probably have to redish though.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    the old hub was spinning quite fine, if I remember correctly. I think I am going to try and use that on a 700 rim.

    I obviously have a whole lot of nothing to do this summer. does anyone know a good place to read up on wheel building? (other than TE that is)
    Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!
