Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

In the context of my post O-rings and centering cones are equivalent since they serve the same function. I know you're pretty diligent about checking the details of the various components. I don't have the patience for that and prefer to think big picture.

In any case, the OP got the info 4 days ago and hasn't been heard from since. I guess he too the info and ran, fixed his bike, and didn't hang around for the howeeee and AlphaDogg show.
