axle size

[linkenator]

G'day people.
i have a bike which has a 15mm axle and the rear wheel looks pretty sorry for its self and i have a rim lying round which i used with a 12mm axle. cut a long story short i was wondering if the bearings from the 15mm wheel would fit into the wheel i used with the 12mm axle?
cheers in advance.

measure them and see? or just punch em out and try it?

really does depend on the rim... while waiting for my thumpy axles to arrive, i tried the bearings out of three sets of rims i've got laying about, they are all different diameters, or the ones that matched diameters, were the wrong I/D for the axle...
ie: measure them up, you may be in luck, you may not..

I know your asking about the bearing but these are just here for refference:

You can do what the first bloke has done and drill the axle hole to 15mm. IF you don't want to do that give roost666 a PM and ask if he can get you some bearings:

Do a quick search there are heaps of threads about axles and bearings.
