Or modify the rear hub. The axle can be cut down to 130mm, which
voids the warranty but works well.
I was considering doing that for a wheel I'll build soon. Anything
special to watch out for, or just have fun with a reciprocating saw?

Rick,
I don't know, as I haven't done it myself. I just enjoy the result
of having had an experienced wheelbuilder modify an XT hub for me on
my newest CX rear wheel.
