pretty much nearly every company had* a set of 110mm hubs avaialble
campy had some njs hubs in 110mm, suntour superbe pro, my sansin's and DAs are 110mm, phils can come in 110mm, gran compes, novetec...etc etc
pretty much 110mm was the old keirin standard and that spacing (which is actually 113mm, for 1.5mm tensioners on either side) is seen on njs frames.
i don't get why it was, but it was lol. same thing like 26.8 seatposts and 27.0 seatposts. i have no idea why.
on most hubs can cannot simply "remove" spacers...for loose ball hubs u will need the DA 120mm-> 110mm conversion kit...which includes the 8mm slotted axle (versus the 10mm axle), cones, and nuts.
