Re: Mounting mecanum wheels... please help?
For people mourning mecanums to the AM14U2, how are you securing the other end of the shaft driving the wheel? The corresponding hold in the outer plate has a diameter of 0.675", so you can't put a .5" Hex bearing in there. Or are you cantilevering it?

It looks like the Upgrade kit that AndyMark is selling has the outer plate attached and I'm guessing the shaft isn't cantilevered, but I can't tell by the pictures shown.
