Reckon this needs replacing?

Rear cone. Non drive side.

 

[Ajax Bay]

Certainly.

 

[fossyant]

Yes

NAH!Good for another 30yrs use. Of course it 'could' fail and you'd face plant into the road in front off a juggernaut driven by a U-tube viewing foreign guy who has just come none-stop from Italy. But think of the cash you'll have saved!😜

 

[stalagmike]

Yeah. Was a tongue in cheek question really. Have just been to LBS for a new one. Will put new bearings in too I think! The ones that came out were square.

 

[raleighnut]

plenty more miles in that just put it in so the pitting is at the top

All you need to do is sand off or machine a new surface and case harden the steel.

Is that from a shimano cup and cone hub?
If so, what state's the cup in?

the cups don't tend to wear as much as they rotate whilst the cone is stationary

Not sure of the brand. It's off the back of my Triban. The cups look fine to me.

I tend to keep the dust cover part and throw away the cone part. The metal dust cover part is good for spares. It sometimes seems like it is stuck/welded to the cone but I find a tap with a hammer will loosen it.

 

[Blue Hills]

Problem often comes when trying to get matching cone though doesn't it?
I usually resort to buying a new hub for the spares.
best to keep hubs well checked/maintained.

you're ahead of me I think OP. Took me two decades I think to dare going anywhere near a hub.

So... I have replaced the cone and bearings and greased everything up. But can I get the fecker adjusted correctly? No I cannot. I screw down the non drive side cone and lock it off, leaving just a little bit of play to be taken out by the QR, but if anything the play gets worse when I refit the wheel and lock off the QR. Beginning to think something is bent somewhere. Anyone else had this happen. Do I just need to face facts and give up on the Btwin wheels?

Perseverance dear boy.

I find using a vice to adjust the lock/cone nuts helps (I have a mini vice which I clamp to a picnic table). This allows one to make small adjustment to the cone (e.g. 1/8 or 1/16 of a turn) before tightening the lock nut against it. It also stops the axle turning while doing it since the other side of it is clamped in the vice.

There is a bikeman4u video showing how to do this on YouTube. I will attach a link tomorrow.
