If you space it on the left, you then need to space your caliper to meet the disc (with all the attendant problems of caliper tabs being loaded in a way they weren't designed for). If you space it on the right, you get a chainline of about 30mm. Basically a terrible idea if you want a 135mm hub, and not even easy to get either, unless you speak Polish. Are Mielec making a lot of 120mm disc frames? That might explain why Polish shops have that Novatec hub when nobody else does.
