Shimano M475 hubs - where to buy new cones?

add595

Hello all.

I am in the process of servicing my Shimano M475 hubs, front and rear.

They both need new cones and bearings, the cups are still good.

I can get a full set of bearings for £1 from my local bike shop! I am having trouble finding the cones though.

I have the part numbers but a google search comes back blank.

Any idea's where I can get some from? I don't really want to pay to have the wheels rebuilt with new hubs, or buy new wheels for that matter.

N.b. part numbers are:

Front: M9x10.5mm Y-202 98050

Rear Left: M10x15mm Y-220 98080
Rear Right: M10x15mm Y-30G 90500

gtd.

Try Petra Cycles, they stock a lot of Shimano spares, might not be listed or probably a shared part

TBH I CBA to cross reference tech sheets to check :P

Front Cones and Seals

Rear Cones and Seals

gtd.

On second thought couldn't you just use universal axle replacements?

This kind of thing (Yeah Halfords I know but hey)

Might be simplest to buy new hubs, swap the cones and keep the rest for spares.

Thank you all for your very helpful responses.

I have ordered everything I need from sjscycles, a very useful website!

Out of interest, does anyone know if the guts from a front M495 hub would fit my M475? Only difference is the axle is M10 (mine is M9) but as I would be swapping the cones I can't see that being a problem?

Thanks again!

Shimano tech docs have compatibilty charts with hubs and spares.

add595

Aye it does. I would be 'upgrading' though from an M9 axle to an M10, thus no shimano charts will say if it is compatible or not.

No worries, I have been offered a new M495 hub cheap. Might as well buy it and try it, can always sell it on again.

Ta!

So, which parts did you order, do you have the links? I am also looking to renovate my deore m475 hubs which are pitted.

add595

I don't have any links, it was done two years ago lol! All parts were bought online from SJS Cycles though.

I do remember that not long after I'd done the rear hub, the freehub body came loose (my own fault - no loctite and didn't torque it) and trashed the cups, cones, bearings and axle.

I ended up buying a complete brand new hub and swapping all the guts over, yes the cups are replaceable.

I would advise just buying complete new hubs anyway, to steal the guts from, especially if it's a nice wheelset you plan on keeping for a while. M475 and M495 hubs seem to always be plentiful on EBay. If you are patient you will probably pick a pair up for around £20.

I seem to remember that M495 parts are interchangeable but I can't remember for sure.

Hope this helps!

I'm going for the following spares first (before replacing hubs). Hope this is useful info to anyone else who stumbles onto this page. I'll post a reply if they don't fit!
