What we do is machine out the hub because of the draft (i.e. taper) inside the hub and then we insert a custom machined hub into the wheel, typically the ID of that new hub is 3/4" then we use a trantorque to couple the wheel to a shaft. It's pretty stright forward, one of the tricks is to try and make the new custom hub as lightweight as possible. -Joe
