It should also be noted that respacing your hub by removing spacers on the non-drive side will require the wheel to be redished to keep the rim centered in the frame. You will be increasing the dish and thus the tension differential between drive and non-drive side spokes. Another reason to maybe consult with an LBS with a competent wheel guy/gal, to see if they think it's a good idea with your current spoke lengths and tension.
