Default Metric bearings in imperial wheel rims

The question is, will a 35mm bearing fit in the hub that is built to
accept 34.925mm bearings? Will it just be a bit of a squeeze to get the
bearing in? Will there be any problem with the bearing if it is
slightly compressed?


Take the extra bit of metal off the ID of the wheel so you can use standard
bearings?

If you can get one bearing thats got slightly too much metal, then you
can get two with the same ease. So take the metal off the easy-to-replace
part, not off the hard to replace part.
