90s hope hubs were bomb proof (unless it was a disc version and it became 'unbonded' and your wheel sprung apart), I have a pair of 100/135mm Ti glides that I'm going to respace for road use, 15 years old but still original bearings and still light enough for a decent road wheel build.
What other hope hubs do you have? I just like them :)
Should be able to just push the axle to the right place with a vice/ bearing press, then refit the spaces which usually just have an O ring locating them onto the axle (might have to remove & flip the axle)
