You used to be able to buy axles that were lozenged like that but they were a nightmare for stripping threads. If you're going to do that, just grind enough to get the axle nicely into the dropouts with a little extra to allow for the wheelnuts squishing everything together. Obviously, this would be on the inside of the dropout... Use a nice washer ont outside and it'll be as strong as it can be.

Dark Diggler:
Wise words :daumenhoch:

Yep, but the axle is trapped in my hub so I had to grind it on the outside of the drop-out due to the width of my grinding wheel :-\

TwoBobRob:
Add a couple of washers inside and spread the frame a bit then, just to make sure when you tighten the wheelnuts they're actually doing what they're supposed to...

I have to say, if the bike is a true rider then I'd just grind the dropouts out to 14mm and be done with it. It's a legit mod.

Well, in my eyes anyways.....  :)
