14mm hollow axles are actually stronger than solid axles, the reason being that it's harder to be a tube than a rod.

When we were in the city, I teased my wife so badly. I yelled out "Honey, look! It's Samuel L. Jackson!" She got so excited, she was fumbling with her camera, didn't even notice it was the wax museum.
