ok so i bought a set of njs suzue hubs while in japan ...the only thing is i think that the rear spacing is a bit off for the dropouts on my frame is there a way to change the axle or add spacers to the hub to make it fit into the dropouts or is the hub useless to me...
Not enough information. Assuming the Suzue hubs are standard 120mm hubs, the question is what frame are you putting them in? If the frame is an old steel road frame with 126mm spacing, I would have a bike shop cold set the frame to 120mm, that way you can use any standard track hub.
the hub is spaced 110mm for njs kierin frames....the frame i want to use is a yanagisawa keirin frame but apparently not all kierin frames havce the same rear dropout sizing....

you can change the axle and add some spacers, it's not hard.
ok so i think that the rear dropout is 115mm and the hub is sized for 110mm you think its possible to use the hub...

no, your hub is useless, send it to me for proper disposal.
seriously, just get some spacers.

Wierd news of the week: I heard some companies make a 132,5mm rear hub so you can put in into 130 and 135 frames. Ouch.
