Hello All !

Finally I get to post hurrah !!!

Anyway, I desperately need the aluminium cone the fits over the hex bolt that holds the wheel in for my old Mavic track wheels - they are pretty old.

The aluminium cone thing that the hex nut (5mm) goes through, surprisingly enough has pulled straight through after many years of cinching up the nuts to make sure those puppies are on TIGHT ! (what were Mavic thinking)

Anyway, I have tried everywhere including BLB and Whiskers etc, Mavic are completely mute in their treatment of my request and I have a perfectly good wheel which is now a potplant holder if I can't get a new cone thingy, or a new unit.

Anyone got one, have a suggestion of where I might find one, or else have the skills to make me one in steel ?? Hmmm ???

I have taken a few piccys but have no idea how to get them off my album onto here.....anyone ?

Nice to meet you all anyway,
Sean

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
