I was under the impression that those are 126 hubs that was used for 130 spacings often found on budget/dept. store bikes which still uses 7 speed groups
That's a possibility, in which case you are only going from the improved dish of a 130mm 7-speed to the standard dish of a 126mm 7-speed :)

Thanks for the options, all. I was already thinking that re-spacing the rear might be the best option. With this in mind, does anyone have a recommendation for a wheel set with hubs that will fit the bill and rims that will take a brake and have an ID of >17mm?
Incidentally, the little one will be on the top tube (Weeride) rather than over the rear wheel, but I'm a fairly big unit so I'd appreciate the strength in any case.

But cannot argue about the wheels strength point there especially this will be used for ocarrying a child :)
