Are rear axles of Suzue basic track hub and Formula fixed gear hubs interchangeable? I need to know if I can swap their axles between the two. Thanks! :)

Spin an axle-nut from one hub onto the other. If it goes on, then it's a match. There's 10mm and 3/8" axles, they don't interchange...

Thanks Danno.....they're both 10mm axles. But another poster over from FF/SS indicated since one uses loose ball bearings and the other cartridge bearings, the axles may be different. I guess I can pull both apart and find out....:)
