Overhauling a rear hub (Deore FH M590) and the both sides cones are pitted so trying to find correct replacements. SJSCycles have a left hand lock nut unit (for £6.99, ouch) but right hand is discontinued, as is the complete hub axle assembly which would include both.
What makes a cone compatible? Axle diameter, thread pitch ... are there other factors which will determine whether I can use another cone? Or is the compatability with the dustcaps / seals etc they've included in that "lock nut unit"?
Thanks a million
