$20 isn't going to happen unless you're really resourceful or have connections.

Be prepared to spend $40 or more to swap out that axle for a campy track axle and locknuts. Mattbrown and Adamkell have both been faced with this problem. It's not going to be the simplest proceedure either, depending on which campy hub it is. If you have a c record low flange road hub I think you'll have to give up on the dream, because that thing is super weirdo. lb and sb in the same hub--wtf?

If you love the hub and want to go forward, good luck and the good folks at campy only will be of great help. Or pm ceya.. he's a campy god.
