Any question answered...

So much fail.

You can't use a non-Campag axle because Campag axle thread pitch is 26tpi, not the 1.0mm used by most other people.

Campag lockrings are 1.32"×24tpi; Miche would fit but nobody in their right mind would use one. Mavic certainly won't. Phil Wood will fit Campag.

Genuine Campag Pista axles are £25 from http://www.campyoldy.co.uk/stocklist.htm, track nuts are a further £25 for a pair.

Use a soldering iron to melt out the old solder and take off the tieing wire, it's not doing any good and it will stop you from successfully re-dishing the wheel

Thanks for this.

what if I use non-campag axle and cones to avoid thread compatibility problems... I appreciate this would be a bit of a shame though...

I was also wondering, if I use the wheels as they are (road mode), can I potentially damage the hub thread; being a track hub there is less thread for the block to sit on, I have a bad feeling about this...
