I have a new Question.

Is it virtually impossible to find 8mm diameter axle hubs anymore? I really don't want to grind out the dropouts on this frame for fear of misalignment, and I don't want to grind down a 14mm axle for fear of compromising the integrity of the axle.

I have looked all over the internet for any sort of sniff of an 8mm hub (I've given up on finding an entire wheel, and will just have to build my own). Even modern day Strumey's ofnly go as small as 9mm.

Any suggestions? Am I going to have to wait for something to pop up on Ebay?
