Record large flange hubs

Does anyone know?

Do you mean, can I add 3mm of spacers on either side?

Depends on dropout thickness, the axle doesn't have much spare length for the track nuts to hold on to.

I just wasn't sure if it was possible to do. I know nothing about road bikes and am trying to build up my first one. Is it possible to change the axle?

Is it a road hub or a track hub?

With a hollow axle and QR? In that case you'll need a longer axle (132mm for 126mm OLN) plus some spacers. Campyoldy have the complete assembly including cones for £25

scroll down to "Record 6spd rear q/r axle complete with cones, spacer & locknuts"
and you probably also need the longer QR skewer 2 lines below it

Other option is to buy a cheaper Weldtite axle. I've used them and haven't had any problems.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
