I'm trying to find anyone who has spares for Aireal hubs. Their hub adjusting 'cones' seem to be made of cheese. I tried to adjust out some play with a new allen key and it just tore the hex out.

I should have bought Hopes instead.

they were the importers and still have some parts left. FWIW I really like my aireal hubs….

Thanks for that, I'll take some pics and send them an email and see what we can sort out. I bought them new on ebay from a shop selling off their stock. It may well have been them.

Let moi know if you are needing another rebuild

I think they'll be fixable, I just hate play in bearings.

in cartridge bearings with radial loads it does not matter.
