You may want to check with Harris and see if the hub shells are the same. I just eyeballed a Campy rear track hub, and it looks like difficulty in losing 5mm per side. To use the same shell, the cones would have to be shorter, the washer thinner and the nut thinner. You'd have to barely be able to get a cone wrench in there. But that may be the deal, I've never seen the 110mm parts. Anybody know for sure?
