FD front wheel bearings/hubs on FC

how would one go about putting FD front wheel bearings and hubs on the FC? ive been told many times that the fc style bearing flexes under load, which effects handling. i know the supernow ones are stronger hubs, but the bearing on the FD is supposed to be a whole newer generation in design. thanks!

the FC spindle has a big inner bearing and a small outer bearing, so that its 2 diameters, while the FD is a single diameter, because it uses a single big bearing.

so assuming that the FD bearing will fit over the FC spindle, and its even close to the right width, you'd need to make some kind of spacer to go between the FC spindle and FD bearing

i'm not sure but i think the supernow hubs are just steel, so it'll be stronger and move around less than the aluminum ones...

is this possible because the fd hubs are affordable compared to the fc hubs
