Going to run a rear disk and keep a 20mm axle but it's gotta be longer to fit the Radian swingarm. Anyone know the best place to source one or have one made?
 
I'm running an RD400 back wheel in my Radian swing arm conversion, which uses the 17mm axle that is the same diameter as the chain/wheel adjuster slors in the swing arm. The RD axle appears to be plenty long enough for the width odf the swing arm. Of course reducing the axle size means the existing caliper carrier axle hole is to large so I will be making a new carrier up (or if I feel lazy, I'll try the RD caliper and carrier for size) The reason I went down this route was because I wanted to ditch the stock 16 inch rear mag but wanted to retain a rear disc and mags.

I gues an alternative to having a 20mm axle made up would be to swap out to 17mm bearings in the wheel and use an RD axle and rear caliper/carrier?

Sorry didn't really answer the question, but wanted to offer an alternative :)
