Axle sizes

[crazy-latin-steven]

Hey i have 12mm axles but i want to upgrade my rims to better quality so i can go bigger without the spokes and hubs braking all the time. The only better quality ones have 15mm axle sizes.

So i dont want to change my forks and swingarm to a 15mm axle as it will cost too much. What i was thinking was...

Drilling bigger holes to fit 15mm axles. So what do you think good idea? What should i do???

what you drilling? the fork ends? worth a try, but um, invest in a reamer as well... accuracy is important. under sized drill...and finding the right drill will test youre patience as well-and youre wallet... and most axles are stepped at one end, so one side is 15 and the other is...idk, 18-20mm at a guess...
