I've only got maybe three threads engaged with the nuts on each side. Is this normal? Seems like the axle is sized for thin track ends like on an old school steel frameset. If I order a new axle will it be the same length?
you can order a new axle - and it doesn't even need to be from campagnolo. as long as the threading is the same, you can get it as long as you want, cut it to length, clean up the threads, and thread your hardware and wheel on to it.
