I should not have said the axle turn on the bearing, I meant the face of the bearing is stationary against the axle, but i'm thinking about it from the axle's perspective if that makes any sense...  i know it's locked in the fork, but i'm trying to get it in my head how a sleeve would be install-able

i wonder if i could modify the axle by adding a "pip" that locks into a slot on the sleeve.  sort of how the axle locks in the fork when you ad the axle tool......

If you can get this made as a kit, and do a run of them, you'll sell them all. Also the reverse kit of running later 43mm forks with the stock wheel and axle.
Many of us have held off changing wheels or forks due to the cross fitment issue.

Isn't changing small wheel onto big forks a matter of fitting the right bearings and sleeve to use the big axle ?

it just seems pretty straight forward (hahahahahaha) to have a sleeve with some sort of slot that keys onto a nub/pimple on the axle to marry them and allow mounting of a larger axle wheel on a small axle fork.

You would install the sleeve into the wheel then slide the axle in.  Hmm

So much easier one way than the other?

Sorry, I was referring to the spacer that goes in between the bearings. I know it's possible to use the 20mm axle in a 25mm hole. I read it just recently. The nut part in the old forks that doesn't come out when the axle is removed is 25mm OD. That can be used on the small side of the larger hole forks. Where you need to make up the room is the other side. I remember seeing mention of using pipe of some sort with a slit in it that can be clamped.

What I want to do is use the larger size axle. If I have adjustable forks, I want to be able to get to those adjustments.

You don't need to if the sleeve is the correct length.
