Any body done any research on bearings for a wheel swap? I want to mount a wheel with a 15mm axle on my forks with a 17mm axle. Is it possible to swap the bearings in the wheel hub to use the 17 axle?
I would need 17x42x14 bearing to make it happen and I haven't found one.

I would try a bearing supply company such as timken or skf bearings. If they dont make it they will special order.

Contact Michael Murphy at 650 Central, most likely he has what ya need to convert over in stock. I'm using a 15mm front axle but I've also change the front forks to suzuki and the axle is hollowed out too,lighter and much stronger than the stock 17mm axle...............Jack
