When, what year that is, did Campy road bike hubs changed from 126mm to 130mm O.L.D?

Thanks!

Is this a trick question? Shimano introduced Dura-Ace STI 8-speed mid season in 1989 (pro teams started testing in 1988) with 130mm spacing and the convex left locknut meant to help pull the wheel into a 126mm spaced frame. In 1990 Regina introduced their America series freewheel (a CX-S with 4 cogs hanging over the body instead of just 3) and Wheels of boulder cranked up production on 141mm axles for Campy hubs. The Campy cassette came out in 1992 in 130mm spacing and their cog system which allowed the user to select individual cogs using a lettering and numbering system which required a chart and at least 2 hours of instruction. Putting the cogs on in the right order didn't seem to make a bit of difference, and there was no index spline.
