Used a carbide tip for the hole in the axle to play it safe.

Funny you ask, I'm working with someone on a 17mm version. He's wanting it to work on box the X and XL axle though so that's proving to be a little challenging. XL axle is easy, I'd just copy what I did here basically.

Any development on the 17mm versions? I have been mucking around with RC8T (wide ones) hexes on my Savvy XL. I can either drill a 2mm hole in the hex and remove a little material from the back of the hex to make it all line up or drill a 2.5mm hole trough the stub axle. Not a fan of trying to drill the stub axle with my wonky drill press so instead I drilled a 2mm hole in the hex. Here is the result.




Best thing about this is that the offset stay the same. Not sure how well it would work on Flux or non XL axles though. Still I would like to see something purpose made like you did for the 24mm ones.

Not much progress made on the 17mm hubs at this point. Still doing some sketches. We've thought about doing exactly what you did but we're leary about the small amount of material left behind the pin? There's a few ideas we're exploring. We're trying to make something that will work on XL and non XL axles as well.
