Disc brake rear hub for 130 drop outs

Having worn out another rim on my winter bike I am looking at converting to a disc brake ( and tubeless tyre ). I have only been able to find rear hubs that are 135 OLN. Does a 130 hub exist or can one be created by deleting spacers? My frame is titanium so it cannot be cold set like a steel frame. Any advice? TIA.

Halo has a disc brake hub line, the 6Drive, that comes with the parts to fit 130mm and 135 mm quick-release dropouts. Can also be converted to throughbolt.

Hi John. 130mm disc-brake hubs certainly used to exist, more generally back when road disc was newer - my old  (2013?) Jamis Nova Sport had one - so worth a look if you need a new wheelset. The frame could also be cold set, Ti is springy but not unbendable, but may be worth having a look at the drop out separation as well - a number of disc frames (including Ti) were spaced at a nominal 132.5mm to cope with either 130mm or 135mm.
