FORUM RULES DICTATES THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE HERE THROUGH LFGSS....
they'll fit track and road ends - but a few considerations
for track ends you'll need about 3mm to 4mm axle spare on each side (as once fitted the nut will sit further out)
and for road dropouts you'll have to remove the little threaded alignment bolts they often seem to have and mount the tug backwards as seen on the pic with the red frame. you'll need c. 8mm spare axle
if you haven't got enough axle you could lower the OLN of rear hub by taking spacers out / or fit longer axle / fit lower profile track nuts (or use thinner nut with a separate thin steel washer ).
not always ideal i know - but great for converted road hubs or track hubs where more axle length is available - as well as your proper track ends.ideal for the thinner 'stamped' road dropouts on cheaper / older bikes
for any ends if your drop outs are wider than c. 6mm (i.e. alluminium ends) won't fit your bike
