Congrats! Re-spacing 130mm Shimano hubs to fit 135 frames is pretty easy--my local shop switched axles for me for under $20. But if you want a set of MUSA shiny cassette hubs, get a set of White Industry's. Nice hubs and one of the less expensive domestically produced boutique hubsets out th

Just for reference i have 48mm (i'm pretty sure) fluted VO fenders and i had to squeeze them at the chainstay a bit to get them to fit. I think 50mm, you might need to snip a little bit off. on my fenders i'm running 37mm tires that measure out closer to 35mm, i think 40mm on mine would be tight,
