Picked up a Nature Boy.
Problem is .. rear spacing is 130mm.
Dont think I can add spacers and still have room to bolt on securely.
Where .. if possible....can I find a 130mm axle to replace the stock 120mm on my 7710 track hub?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My google seaching starts.... right now.
Thanks !!

Looks like that hub has a solid, threaded axle. Wheels Manufacturing has replacement axles in all kinds of lengths and thread pitch:

Cup-and-cone Shimano hubs are fairly easy to service. Might as well overhaul that track hub when you replace the axle.

Back in the days of Campy freewheel hubs....and 126 MM plus rears, I many times spread the rear to 130 MM and spaced out that old hub to use 7 or 8 speed freewheels. To get a 130 MM hub....measured over the locknuts (width between the rear dropouts....inside measurement) I would use a 140 mm length axle. You will need it for Shimano threads. 5 MM on each side was just the right amount to sit in the dropouts, but not be too long for the skewer to work well. 138 MM w/b OK also for thin dropouts.

Except for the fact that it's a bolt-on hub, not quick release. I would order a 174mm axle to make sure there are enough thread for the track nuts. Can always trim it down if it's too long...
