phil wood hubs - re-spacing

anyone know if the spacing is adjustable?
i got one from a friend for 60$ so i didnt even think about the sizing.
its 126 i think. can you switch to smaller cones or something to size it down to 120?

126 is old road bike spec- a pretty likely size.

well im guessing 126, its definately bigger than 120. i just know cause my bike is spaced for 120 and theyre too big, im just guessing 126 because thats the next most common size. i think alot of keirin frames use bigger spacing. but the cones on this hub is so damn big, the hub itself is definately pretty wide as well but it seems to be mainly in the huge cones.
i would just try and contact "phile" wood but i just thought id ask here and see if anyone is in the know about it

"Phile" Wood hubs don't even have cones.

From the Phil Wood website:
"Phil Wood & Co is credited for pioneering the first production sealed bearing cycling components."

Short answer: Yes

Contact Phil Wood for your options, from replacing the spacers to an axle change.
