of cause it can ...needs 15minutes of labour , two new wheel bearings and a different spacer....get good bearings(TNT,FAG,etc.)chink ones are crap!!

ive delt with a fair few hubs that come stock with 15mm wheel bearings that wont take any 12mm bearings that u can purchase off the shelf
and vise versa

Hey Panda ,
Sorry but the outer diameter of the 15mm bearing is bigger than the 12mm ,
i had this same problem when i went to convert my sons bikes to 15mm axles ,
The only way to do it is to machine the hubs to suit the 15mm bearings or get hubs to suit 15mm axles ,

bugga oh well ill see what i can drum up when we get the bearings out
