Uses a stock steelie axel + nut in a gen2-3-4 swingarm to run your steelie wheel without bearing swap.
Will include a drive side seal collar to space wheel properly and a brake side seal collar that pilots the brake.
shown here with a bare hub and a brake side spacer.

The question is, with much less support of the axle, how is the long term durability? Or do you have a "sleeve" over the axle where it passes through the swingarm?

I wondered if it had a step on the back side that actually filled in the larger slot for the gen 2+ diameter ?

No step machined on the back, i made sleeves, but they have to be .090" and i'm expecting it'll be a pain in the nuts to try and get off the axel later, as it did on my af this summer when i ran the teraflex extended. just a cluttery handfull of shit to try and shove on there.
The block supports the bolthead aswell as the axel

I thought you said in the past you could just change the bearings and run a fat axle. Is that not the case?

can do, Some guys like to swap the wheel from bike to bike tho.

So no spacers are required?
Just order gen 2 bearings, stuff em in a steely rear wheel and get the larger ID inner spacer then?

by Roostius_Maximus
make the spacer the same length as the old one, you'll need to check if the spacers on the outside are the proper width
