    Bearing sizes are 3/16" x20 front & 1/4" x18 rear. Don't buy cheap bearings, spend a bit more cash and buy stainless bearings or go totally OTT and buy aircraft grade bearings.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Many Shimano MTB have 1/4” front as well....they use a 10mm axle turned down to 9mm for the dropouts.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
