Axle rebuild kit for Quando?
I bent the hell out of the Quando axle I had and instead of junking the wheel I figure it is worth the $15 for a new axle and cup and cones. Anyone know where to pick such a kit up at?

If it's really the quando looseball, it literally isn't worth even the $15 on a rebuild.

$15 is still cheaper than a new wheel. Any decent LBS will have the hardware you need.

I figured out it was a Suzue Jr and ended up deciding the same thing. I took the cog and freewheel off it and gave it away locally.
