thanks for the info cool-mo-dee
i was thinking of machining the hub too,
me and the old man where talking about it an i think we came up with two good idea's one idea was if i wanted to use the 15mm alxes i use my old 15mm bearing an make a spacer around it so it fits in the hub which is pretty simple
or two keep the 12mm bearings use a 12mm hightensile axle which would probably be stronger then a standard chinese 15mm axle
an use a stianless steal tube an use that inside the spacers an swingarm so the 15mm axle holes in the swingarm an spacers are 12mm
ill keep ya's informed in which way i go
