I have two axles. One has the encoder wheel on one end, then a bearing, a
space for the cable, then another bearing. The other axle has just a shaft
with the space between the two bearings. No, the OD of the bearing does not
matter and you will only have to change the dimensions of your blocks to
accomodate them. Obviously, the ID needs to be the diameter of the shaft
that you use. I chose to keep the shaft OD the same as the ID of the
encoder wheel as it made things a lot easier to build and assemble.
