The Anvil dummy axles are the most common design/design and some will make their jig accept them or make their own dummies to match the Anvil's design. Andy

From what I gather, with some simple frame alignment checking tools.. they are pretty decent in their alignment, I've never had to file down a dropout to align the wheel.

With fear of sounding super noobish.. I suppose a "normal, road" disc hub is a 135mm.. so a Shimano or DT Swiss type hub, with a 12x142mm thru axle
