Our reasoning for relaxing the requirement was that since the full torque load could be taken by one hub, then a hex bearing can be used on the other side if you are worried about deflection. As it turns out, the bearing solution is less expensive for the customer anyway.

Thanks. I wasn't worried about torque, but supporting the shaft on the other side. For some reason I thought the wheel bores were 1.25, not 1.125. What you and John suggest is a really clean solution, I like it.
