So as some of you may know i have a G-Sport complete wheel coming which is a monkey laced to a ribcage.
What i want to know is am i able to put my marmoset axle in the monkey hub?
I have a feeling that they use the same dimentions and the marmoset has a lifetime warranty on the axle which the monkey did not.
any help with this will be much appreciated

It should, according to this
"The MARMOSET uses exactly the same axle and bolts as the Monkey hub"

Wait a minute, the monkey was interchangeable with the homer, both using 20mm axles and bigger bearings, the marmoset is a 17mm axle with smaller ( but still large ) bearings.
It was brought up on bikeguide recently and G said it wont work. ( in the case of putting marmo axle and bearings inside a monkey/homer shell)

Marm is 20mm axle, Antigram is 17mm axle though which might be what you're thinking of

I talked to 'G' about this. You need a custom axle to use 10mm bolt in a monkey
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.

Yeah i read that too just before
but wasnt that for using the bearings with it as the marmoset has a smaller OD bearing race but has the same axle?
And the monkey does use 10mm bolts, It was the homer and vandal that used 14mm

I had a Monkey, and they were 10 MM bolts.
