Thank you for your offer, but let me repeat:  I am DRIVING my axles. I
need a FIXED axle-wheel system.  My main problem is that I have 20mm ID
35mm OD bearings on my wheels. My axle is 12mm. I am now thinking of using
a piece of 35mm wood/plastic with a 12mm hole in the middle, then secure
this all with a pin through wheel, wood,axle.

There must be an easier way!
