Anyone have a lead for replacement cones for formula hubs? Fairly sure it’s the RB52 model. USTF and still stuck!
Reluctant to junk the wheel (unlikely to find time/effort to rebuild onto a new hub). But can’t find the part after a few hours of googling.
Background is I serviced these wheels after buying second hand. Sold as “bearings feel smooth” and indeed they did. Except this was because the seller had slackened the cones off to the point they came undone with a whisper. Cones look like they’ve been attacked by a burr drill…
