What are some hub options for 126's? Should I go shimano with a surly fixxer, or is there a better way?

Phil Wood makes theirs spaced for any number of spacings. I have a couple that are 126 and they work fine. Suzue njs hubs can be re-spaced with an after market axle and spacers from Harris Cyclery. I have one of those and it works also. Some of the other hubs that use cup and cone and loose balls could be re-spaced with the after market axle and spacers I am sure. Check with Harris on the availability.
