Any thoughts on drilling out 3mm wheel hubs to 1/8”?
After doing this, can your u still use them with 3mm shafts?
If so, is a shim needed and what material?
Thanks

I'd advise against interchanging 3mm and 1/8" especially for hubs. You can certainly open a 3mm to hole 1/8", I'd recommend using a reamer so its a nice precise fit. Slop in the shaft/hub area is a recipe for wheels coming loose.
