not seen one but I doubt it - the shell is probably wider (unless they just have a massive spacer on the non-drive side)

You can swap axle diameter on their hubs but not width. The reason 150 came to be was for wider flannel spacing to make a stronger wheel. As above, the shells are different

sancho you sure it wpuld seem easier to make a hub wider with spacers but you cannot make it narrower with spacers.
Sure;y the size refers to the size?

Does with hope for example

thought he meant he had a 150mm axle.
and was using the wide spacers.
