The idea might seem silly to you but there is a good reason for wanting the change. The standard axle diameter on these is 3/8" & the diameter
on the push button axles in 1/2. " It is next to impossible to find a 3/8" diameter push button release so the next logical step is to find bearings that would take the 1/2" axle. As for selling these & buying new wheels that's a nice thought but Burley wants $65. each U.S. plus shipping, cdn. $ exchange & duty & taxes across the border. A little more than buying 2 bearings & axles if I can just replace them. There are videos on Youtube of people doing it but I suspect they are not a similar hub design.
