Can you change a 14mm axle to a 10mm axle on bmx hubs?
Ok now I know this question has been asked before, but I disagree with the answer that it can’t be done, or at least need more info. I recently came across bmx wheels (cheap versions of skyway-tuff type wheels) with 14mm axles. I pulled the hub apart, and to me it seems that the inside of the hub where the ball bearings roll (racer?) is the same size as that on a hub which uses a 3/8″ axle. The only difference is that the 14mm axle requires 3/16″ bearings (with appropriate cones, dust covers). So, I don’t see the problem with swapping axles, as long as you use all the other bits too that are on the 3/8″ hub (ie 1/4″ bearings, 3/8″ cones, 30mm dust covers). An answer provided previously says that the hardware is completely different, but it doesn’t look impossible to me if you change over the 3/8″ hardware as well. I realise this may depend on the type of hub, but I guess my point is that it can be done if you inspect the inside of the hub for compatability.
You’ll need to use the correct size bearings, otherwise the bearings won’t fit correctly into the bearing surface inside the hub. If you use a 1/4″ bearings in a 3/16″ hub, the bearings will have a different radius to the bearing track, and will wear very quickly.
If it means that you have to fit a new hub, then the cost will probably make it not worth while, since a new wheel will be more cost effective.
