I know what you're saying, but just by looking at it, and knowing I moved the wheel by changing the spacers will never make the wheel centered in the frame. I might be wrong.. I mean the drive side spokes look like they would need to be straight and even then the wheel would still be more to the disc side. I have to get a rim and spokes to test it out.

Hello all! I have this old frame that I really like, it's a magallan tucana 2003, which I want to make into a street/trial/dj/allitcando bike. I found a hope pro 4 148x12 hub for dirt cheap (52GBP) which had broken pawls and springs (I got new ones and fixed it). I then went in a deeeeeeeeep rabbit hole searching how to adapt it to the frame, since it would make the bike perfect for trials. So I started measuring an sketching and 3d printing till I got the spacers necessary to fit my frame. (Don't get me wrong, I love tinkering, building, modifying etc). I then went to a local shop to make new adapters for the hub so I wouldn't cut the original ones, if I wanted to sell it later. I started ordering parts.. (they should arrive this week) the rabbit hole is getting deeper, when I noticed today that the hub flanges won't allow me to lace the wheel properly so it would stay centered in the frame.............. At this point, I wasted so much time, money, energy that I feel like throwing the frame out the window. But all is not lost.. I saw in one of Ali's video that the guys from tarty bikes modified a hope pro 4 to fit a mod bike. So I guess there is still hope? Has any of you done this before? or is there a proper way of doing it? Any advice is welcomed
