Yeah i realize that. I'm talking after the axles are swapped.
WRT axle swapping: If the axles on there are 10x1 in the back and 9x1 in the front, it's pretty easy really since the cones and spacers etc will swap over. Solid axles don't always follow this standard. This also assumes std not cartridge bearings. The axles need to be measured with a vernier caliper for size. Wheels mfg sells hub parts online. If that sounds too complex, take them to an LBS. Not everyone is a mechanic.
FWIW i just googled origin 8 track hubs, and at least some claim to have hollow axles already. This is a bit odd, but if this is the case, then they don't need to be swapped. (assuming the hollow axles are standard road type)
