Default Hex Adapter?

I want to put some new wheels on my volcano, which I am sure you all know has a 12mm hex.
but the rims i am interested in are 14mm hex. I cant find any 12mms that arnt 2.2 or 2.8 (I want bigger)
what i am thinking is to use this
http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php...products_id=19
I belive that they just go on top of the current hed and then I just put my wheels on that.
is that correct? has anyones else found another anapter or kit that i can use

If the tires you are putting on are much bigger than the ones your taking off you need a lower gear to turn over the bigger tires [:-]

That would work but ask Dennis if its the small bell gear or if not you could exchange for the small gear [:-]
