Like a car! I hadn't thought of it that way. A car has a live axle which ends with a faceplate that has 4-6 lug bolts. You mount your tire by sliding the tire rim onto the faceplate, and tightening the lug nuts. Instead of dowel pins, a faceplate with bolts sticking out would handle your axial and radial movement when you tighten the wheel down with nylon-insert nuts.

254 bends CIM shafts every now and then in the drivetrain. I didn't believe it was possible until I saw it myself. - AustinSchuh [more]
