How do I use an internally geared hub or cross-country hub with the Mundo frame?

The Mundo comes with a 48-spoke, tandem-strength rear wheel that has a 14mm axle. Most mountain bike wheels, internally geared hubs. To adapt these smaller axles to the Mundo’s frame, you can use an axle adaptor.

BMX kids often use 3/8″ (9.525mm) axles in 14mm dropouts by using very simple adaptors.  I’m 99% sure that 10mm axles will be compatible with these adaptors:

Can anyone help us move from 99% sure to 100% sure?
