Depends on the hubs. Many track hubs have axles long enough to be=20 spaced out farther. Your
Ci=F6cc is prob'ly 126 mm spacing (measure it t= o=20 be sure.) If so, a simple 3 mm spacer on each
side oughta do it.
Spacers should be installed between the locknuts and the cones.
If you need to replace the axle, you might want to consider converting=20 to quick release, which is
a nice feature on a road bike.
