Ive heard of people putting a rod through the axle and drilling and tapping the ends for 6mm spools. Just have to remove them to take the wheel off

If you go with something that requires drilling, remember to install it far enough forward to prevent it from interfering with the axle adujusters that slide into the swingarm. Measure twice, drill once .
