How to make Uniglide wheel take a 10s cassette

Well, not all of it. Actually 9 speed but spaced @ 10s.

The Paramount is 124mm spaced, I suspect from folks putting on 126mm speed wheels before me.
Because I think 1972 was 120mm rear spacing.

I had a 5 speed UniGlide wheel. I pulled the cassette body and popped on a 6 speed uniglide freehub/cassette body. I modded one of the uniform splines to a narrow spline with my Dremel. Then put 8 cogs and spacers of a 10 speed cassette on. To lock it on, ground the teeth [shorter] and the inner locking threaded Uniglide last cog to correctly space for 10s. Voila, a 10 speed spaced 126mm 9 speed wheel for my Chrome paramount that I do not want to cold set to 130. I am afraid this would cause chrome ripple and subsequent damage rust peeling etc.

So I am going to put some 10Speed Dura Ace bar cons [and chain] and get 9 of 10 indexed shifting.
Going to use a 9 speed Dura Ace Derailleur.


Now for the front....

I do something similar (but simpler) on my touring bike. The rear hub is 135mm spacing with a 7-speed freehub, which gives an almost dishless rear wheel, and because 9-speed cassettes use narrower spacing than 7-speed, I can fit an 11-32 9-speed cassette with the 11t cog removed, giving a 12-32.
