Completing repair on the rear hub of XT GS at Mosso

Wheels of Happiness

4.10.2021





The 5 year old plus Mosso is showing signs of aging.  The rear hub has some play and some sounds being generated.  I regreased and replaced the ball bearings.  However, there are scores on the cones block.  It need  replacement.   

There are several options:

      1.  Buy a non Shimano hub (but I cant use the expensive ice rotor -   Shimano has the only centerl                   lock system for Ice Tech disc

      2.  Buy another Shimano XT but mine is 24 holes and straight pull.  Cant find similar spare

      3.  Buy a cone set or repair kit:

          1. I inquired from Quiapo, local store    no reply
          2. Saw a cone only post, but that is good for 1/4 ball bearing  mine is 3/16  -  I consulted the                       mechanic


Finally I found this but its gonna cost me.
