Do those "chrome dome" mounting washers fit on other hub axels? Say, Suzue Pro Max?

yeah, and from what i hear the whole thing is based on faulty physics... the idea is that a larger contact area will reduce slippage and reduce wear on dropouts. truth be told, it spreads the area out more, but the net damage and slippage is the same, based on what people tell me about physics.
meantime, my jeans still smell like the phil grease. mrowl.

so, yes, i agree that net damage and slippage is the same (second law of thermodynamics iirc), but it's spread out over a larger area, so the slippage/damage per unit area is less.
in english: the damage is more spread out.
in environmentalist-talk: the footprint is larger but lighter
