10mm to 14mm axles
Can I remove the 3/8"-10mm diameter axles from some BMX front wheels I have acquired and convert them to 14 mm diameter axles as a straight swap out ?
I know the cones and nuts will be specific to axle diameter but I'm unsure about bearing race diameters and ball bearing sizes.
Any help and advice will be gratefully received.

Hi, up to me it's impossible to simply swap the axle if it is a wheel with cup and cones. You would need to completely change the hub and just for this reason you might have to change the spokes due to a lenght difference.

the Import sourcing makes wheels so cheap just buy a new wheel .. your frame already made for the 14mm axles?
