I think i have fathomed it out,
campag front axles are m9 by 26tpi
cheap hollow 'rear' long track front spindle from the local bike shop at a quid each are
3/8 =9.5mm by 1inch=25.4mm
i need a longer axle at the front anyway
so to fit a longer axle to the front of a campagnolo axle, i just buy a 3/8ths by 25.4 tap set, and run it down the cones and lock nuts
fit in a rear 3/8ths by 1 inch rear hollow spindle, fit the tapped campagnolo cones and lock nuts,and fit the 50p a pair alloy nuts
total £3
on the rear, because i only require 116mm, simply remove the spacer, centralsie the axle, and run a m10 by 26tpi tap through the 50 pence alloy nuts
=sweet
total £4, not 59.99 bucks plus shipping
