Hi George,

Check the axle spacing on those wheels from long ago.
The outer locknut dimension might be too small.

"Our Gnot-rite spacing (132.5mm) allows you to run 130mm road hubs and
135mm MTB hubs"

I'd ask here if axle-replacement (longer) and adding spacers is
possible and/or recommended.

Anyway... you'll have a fun travel bike.
