Don't see why you would go through all this work when using ****e hubs. Theres a really good reason why the Suzue Basics/Jnrs are hated on this forum: they have horrible build quality and will strip when skidding/skipping (which is really two reasons).

Use Nashbar/Formula/Ambrosia/Kogswell/IRO/On-one hubs which are about the same price with ok sealed bearings. Lots of places carry them online.
