A cone nut: Something special or nothing special?
A hub on a nicer bike that I'm preparing to sell needs at least one new cone.
It seems like there are a lot of variables: axle size/threading, native bearing size if there is such a thing, "spacing" size/thickness of the nut, maybe something else.
What are the chances that I can find a good replacement in the bin? Are there special ones for nicer hubs?
Is it the best course to order a set of new ones? Where would you do that?
This is a decent bike and I want the quality of the replacement to be commensurate with the original. I've rebuilt 1,000 hubs, but suddenly I feel at sea.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
EDIT: Early 80s Miche Competition hubs
