I just did a service on my rear xt huv, and noticed that the FW side has a damaged cone. I went to all local LBS's, web shops and shuch, but to no avail. There is no spare cones to be bought. The problem is that the cone has a seal that fits on the FW dust seal. I can't find any other cones that would fit. Any idea where to get some?

    Have a look on eBay, people buy complete hubs and split them.

    that could be a problem. Even if I find some, and I didn't so far, the shipping prices are ridiculous. Entire hub is around 40€, but if I'll have to replace it, I'll probably upgrade it...

    To clarify, some people buy complete hubs, split them and sell the parts on eBay.

    No need for the clarification, I understood you perfectly, but if I find a set of cones, for 10$, and add 40$ worth of shipping... it's cheaper to buy a new hub...

    Then find some with cheaper shipping, or explain your problem a bit more clearly.
    Using $ one can assume you are not in the UK, and I can't see a problem getting bits in the US, so you must be somewhere weird.

    I think Zim gave up on Zim $s and use US$ now. There weren't enough zeroes in the world.

    well, not exactly Zimbabwe, but some such country in Europe. I'm from Croatia. And although we're members of the EU..we get the highest shipping prices . Why? dunno.
