true story , my front wheel cones

[mimitabby]

And they always say "Brev." or "Patent" too. Campy must patent every cup, cone, and locknut. In 1975, a ball bearing only cost $0.02. A spoke cost $0.10.

A Shimano cone wouldn't fit on a Campy axle, so someone replaced the axle so they could use the wrong cones. Sheesh. Did you get 3/16 inch or 7/32 inch bearings? Record hubs always took 7/32 in both front and rear hubs, but just about every other hub takes 3/16 in the front and 1/4 in the rear. Just wondering what Campy used on your Veloce hubs.

I hope your hub saga is finally at an end. And you will be joyfully riding your Bianchi with both it's wheels very soon.

The guy at the Bike shop said something like they NEVER sold axles, there was no price for them on the price list!
I didn't measure the ball bearings, but they looked more like 3/16 to me.
remember, it's the front. I am hoping this saga is at an end too. I was hoping you'd see this post because you were the most helpful person of all.

Can't recall ever needing to replace a front axle. But rear ones used to bend pretty easily on freewheel hubs, so they were big sellers.
