future orange 660 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 well you cant really expect a coned hub to sustain trials abuse.you can get hopes cheap now about 30-40 quid if you look about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 right, the 'bent' bit is just a bearing cover, and pushes onto the cone. can easily be straightened. support the washer either side, and tap the cone lightly with a hammer to straighten.The cone looks in OK condition, but with some bad pits. make sure you use plenty of grease when you reassemble, and dont overtighten the axle. lock the cones off well too.

Dan6061 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Pop the bent bit off, and gently clamp it in a vice.Just don't flatten it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 find a socket that fits in nicley and on a flat surface hammer it flat again. I have delt with this a lot at the bikeshop I work at, the socket trick works everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Or upgrade to a Hope/Better hub, I have one for sale, if you pay the extra postage costs, you can send me your old wheel and I can build the rim and spokes into the new hub and post back off the same day.. I'd also sort your existing hub out incase you should ever need to swap back... Pm me if your interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
