Thanks Al! After researching that idea a bit I found I could get a bearing with a 15mm bore and the same OD, but would have to go with a thicker or thinner bearing on the width. Going wider would most likely interfere with the lower pickup sensor but I could make a "filler" ring to fit a thinner bearing into the retainer plate.
I've already ordered the bearing with the slightly over-sized ID so I'll wait and see what that looks like. It was only $8 so it may be a cheap skateboard bearing from China for all I know. If it is, I'm more inclined to go with your idea just so I can order a better quality bearing from a manufacturer I know.
