Us, too, but a wheel built around a 105 six-speed hub is something worth saving.
We have generic axle and cone sets for ten bucks. These work well for cheap mountain bikes and hybrids with broken hubs. If you bring in the original parts we'll match them with the charts by Wheels Manufacturing and order the stuff. Most ready-made wheels on freewheel hubs are pretty manky.
