My preferred method is to bring the current axle to act as a reference when buying a new one.
Apart from that - and assuming you know how to do bearing adjustments, go right ahead.
Keep in mind that apart from a mild theft deterrent, an axle swap may not do much for you.
Hello .. Thanks for your reply .. I just had this hub apart replaced the cones and balls and measured everything while it was apart ..I have received the new solid axle ..it's the right one ..Just wondering if it will really help anything? The hollow axle seems like a weak link however it has been fine for 2 years of daily rides .. The new $7 dollar one ..who knows what it's made of .. Ha ..I just gotta mess with everything ..
