So basically what happened is the cone on the drive side of my 10 speed KHS backed off, and the cone was damaged. I only rode it a short time but it is my ride to work so it was about 3 miles, I had to remove the rear brake to make it easier because the wheel was wobbling so much.

I ordered a new quick release axle that is the right measurements, namely this one -

now as I went to put the wheel back together, it seems I'm missing some sort of washer or something because I can see the ball bearings and in fact it looks like they could fall out.

am I missing some sort of dust shield? All I have is what came on that QR axle I linked, plus the hub in the wheel & ball bearings.

Unfortunately I don't have much opportunity's to get to my LBS as I work 9am-8pm and they are open 10am-6pm must be nice.


I've tried looking at several hub overhaul videos on youtube and on the park tools site, but none really show a blown up picture of what the hub assembly on these old loose ball cup/cone hubs should have.
