do spacers and washers look similar?
Cogset - hub.
Spacers and washers perform the same function, but axle spacers are the appropriate inner diameter for the wheel axle, as well as being of a material suitable for withstanding the torque necessary to properly adjust a hub. Washers deform, spacers do not.
And I would suggest that if a track wheelset doesn't fit inside the dropouts of your Windsor frame, the frame is ****ed. Measure the dropouts from inside-to-inside, and report back.
