Hubs and cones
I have two rear hubs here, complete except for axles, cones and bearings. I'm ready to re-build them, and need some clarification on cone specs. I can't understand why any hub which uses the same size bearing as the next one would have a different cone profile. The hubs are a Deore and a tri-color. Can anybody explain that? And would a 6600 hub use a different profile cone than a 6400?
TIA
