Would these Wheels Work

Planning on building a Streetfox.
Would these rims/hubs work for the front wheels?
Could the bearings be changed for different axle size?
What types of brakes could I use with these?
Thanks

What size are the axle bearings on them? I'm guessing at 15mm from the description but that's far from guaranteed. 15mm bolts are like rocking horse poo so you'd need to use a 15mm to 12mm thru axle adapter and a 12mm bolt. The wheels themselves aren't cheap and then you'll need to add in a pair of adapters and a pair of bolts. You could just buy any 14mm axled BMX wheel for less.

Adapter.

What Popshot says is the easiest way to do it.
You can swap the bearings, but this is in my opinion a better solution.
