My T-Bird. 10mm axle (135mm spacing) shimmed to a 14mm dropout with a BMX peg spacer. No problems as of yet.
Snip
I have an adapter to pass from 10mm to 14mm and I hate it Madder

So get a better one. They won't cost much.

Someone who spaced out a bmx hub?
Me and George91 (the one with the raw sub, just got the rear Eclat hub).

Yeah its well easy, we've both done it with no problems, i used the eclat because the bolts are 10mm with 14mm axle parts that i just spaced out, also i just used a few more spacers on the left so that i got the perfect chain line and becuase i'm brakeless i didn't bother dishing the wheel, here:

I have a question, since it is a bmx hub, it was designed to be used with 20" wheels. wouldn't the flanges be too near from each other so the strenght of a 26" wheel would be affected? I don't know if you guys understand what I mean? And sorry for my english.

As long as your wheel is well build and kept tight there shouldn't be any problems with strength.

I'm talking about the distance between the two flanges...

I have a friend with a LHD 135mm hub, It came on his GT I-Drive thing. it has a gear box and the drive is on the left for some reason and it has a disc mount on the righ side and on the right side of the frame, Ill try and look it up for you but i dout it can be bourght seeing as it has been made for the bike.

You best bet is to get a bmx hub and space it out (like George91) and also you will have the job of weilding the disc mounts on the left.
