how to modify live axle wheels to make them dead

[andycolletta]

This very topic came up in our team's discussion today. If you don't want to splurge on hundreds of dollars of wheels, and have the means, it may be possible to place an hex bore insert where the bearing belongs, mounting on the six mounting holes usually used for the sprocket. This was only conceptualized and not practiced.

I'm thinking broached inserts too, but where to get them? A machine shop is probably not on our agenda this week. We already have AM hex wheels, but pneumatic may be the best wheel this year.
