I'd recommend getting a 3/8ths hub.

If not maybe odyssey has some older dirt forks with 990's in 14mm?

If there ever was an issue stemming from your modification you wouldn't be covered

You can always grind the axle flat so it'll fit in the forks.

I personally would not grind out the fork, the dropout is already quite small.

Not a bad thing. Better hub and not having to grind out forks sounds like a good outcome.

Sounds plausible but in practice it's the last thing you want to do
