Quick question regarding hubs: I have an old mtb frame that I'm going to build up as a tourer for the summer. It's 130 o.l.d and I was going to use an old stx 7 speed hub, but thinking about it, is there any reason I couldn't use a 130 wide road hub and go 8 speed, and is there any other reasons for going one way or the other (durability / sealing etc.)
I think both should work but just looking for your expert opinions.
