Per #4, if you don’t mind touching up the paint on a weekly basis, or don’t mind the battle scarred look, give ‘er.

Cones for old stx rc rear, try searching for shimano m430 cones, £3-4 each and decent enough quality, buy some 1/4" bearings from your lbs and your on a winner.
Shimano tech docs then insert code on the hub = the exact right cones, but 90s average hg hub all much of a muchness tbh

hi, 4 q’s, increasing levels of hysteria: 1 have just bought a wheel with knackered bearings/cones. setting aside for a sec that the cups r probs shite too, where do I get replacement cones/bearings cheaply? it’s STXrc. 2 what do i do to clean/service an old Lev dropper without taking it apart? What should I spray it with basically? 3 i have a 10spd 42t cassette that won’t shift with my 10spd xt mech but EVERYONE on singletrack says this works with no extra
doodads. why doesn’t mine? the size of the ring at the front? Whhhhhhhy! 4 I am tempted to respray my commuter with no nonsense matt black. it gets great reviews: it will probably be shit, will it be shit?
