Does anyone know where I might be able to get random hub cups and cones and other small parts? There has to be a magic shop or internet shop somewhere.

Thanks

Chris

    Try SJS Cycles, but most places will sell an axle assembly

    If your hubs are Shimano, or one of the other brands that they distribute, then Ultimate Pursuits web site http://www.ultimatepursuits.co.uk has a fair selection of small bits that you can peruse online. Buying from them isn't quite like buying from a normal web store. You end up buying through a local dealer, and you can collect the bits from them, or have them posted. It all seemed to work fine when I bought new cones and balls recently.

    Well thanks for lots of replies! So far cones and bearings are available but I'm still trying to find cups for this Quando hub. Perhaps it's better to replace the whole hub even though it means rebuilding the wheel :(
