What you do is pass the thin (12mm?) axle rod through the hole in the backing plate THEN you butt the axle end (silver piece) up to the backing plate (it slides on) and call it good. It is kept in place by the q/r clamp. If the axle is the right length for the frame you should not need any other spacers. Is this Hugi hub not the one that already sits in this frame?
