As long as you have a frame with 126mm rear spacing then a 130mm will go in no probs.

thanks @smokeysmoo

@gareth01244 nothing in my shed for 10 speeds i am afraid

I have a set of new khamsins but they dont look quite right on the bike, it will take a 130mm wheel but its more of an aesthetic issue, going to try fitting gumwall tyres to the khamsins to see if that improves matters.
Hopefully though i will be able to find something better

If happy to buy new, sell the Khamsins and see what spa cycles have/advise

Or see what @Spoked Wheels suggests. He built me some lovely silver wheels from Open Pro rims for my steel Genesis

Thanks for the offer, sounds like a good set of wheels but I would prefer clinchers

Don't be put off....ride well and tubs are safe...bit of sealant and they are easy to change and not so dangerous as a clincher blow out.
