I have Dura Ace hubs re-spaced to 135mm w/ a longer axle and a spacer. Try
some Velocity A23 rims, they're they cool new
thing on the market. Then some Challenge Parigi-Roubaix (29mm)... give
that a try and see if you're happy!

Squeezing your 135 OL rear down 5 mm won't hurt a thing. I once squoze a
126 mm rear end down to 110 with no ill effects that I could discern.

comparison other than the sloping TT. So if you wanted something

My current wheels are Velocity Synergy rims with Shimano XT hubs and
