Although it does appear to be worn out. LBS should have a replacement part. What do the bearings look like ? Those might be ground up too and putting it back in/together would only grind up the new parts within a short time. Is that a front or rear hub ?
Just curious, how long did that last ? I have Tec 9's on the Vilano I bought and just curious the lifespan yours had. Mine hasn't given any problems in a year and 11 months.
Bearings are ok and it is a rear hub. I bought this bike used a week ago so I've no idea how long it's been, but judging by the color of the grease when I first disassembled it, I'd say it's either been a while or the previous owner did a piss poor job of maintaining the hub. I've solved the problem by getting a rear axle from my Walmart p.o.s. mountain bike and using that instead.
Although I'm still interested in what kind of axle could serve as a replacement.
