Beau, Have hou checked out the actual sizes by using some existing hubs of axles? I would expect the front wing-nuts to be 5/16" by 26 TPI, and the rears to be 3/8" by 26 TPI. There are many NOS hubs avaailable using those axle sizes. Some were originally meant for BMX bikes. Others were simply meant for decent-but-inexpensive road use, that are currently being sold as "fixed gear" parts. Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia, USA
