om...

I'm assuming that I will also need to get a new axle. Anyone know wha the
OLN for an 8spd rear hub is (7spd is 126mm iirc)? Will I need to cold set
the frame,
or should I be able to bend it far enough (frame is steel, an Orange
Prestige)?

I het your current hub is 135mm OLN, like any 8/9 speed hub. So you'll need
to remove 5mm of spacers from the non-drive side, and redish the wheel.

(this answers your frame question too)

cheers,
