    Hi folks,

    I have a jolly fine rear wheel built on a Shimano FH-M570 hub (Deore LX circa 2002).

    On rebuilding it last weekend I found the cones are finally showing signs of wear. The races are OK though so I would prefer not to rebuild the wheel. Here's the parts list:

    https://www.paul-lange.de/tradepro/shop/artikel/docs/Explosionszeichnungen/SHIMANO/FH_M570.pdf

    The parts I want are #9 "Y-3AE 03000" and #11 "Y-30P 98030". Both are discontinued by Shimano. The former at least is available from SJS cycles and allegedly from various ebay sellers. The latter doesn't seem to be available anywhere

    I am trying to get in touch with Biketrax and similarly will pay a visit to the bike station to root but do the mechanical wizards here have any secret sources for ancient bits?

    Alternatively is there a way to find out which modern Shimano cones might be suitable substitutes?

    Cheers,

    -D

    Oh, and the dust seals etc are all in good shape (amazingly). It's just cones I need.

    I'll pop out in the light of morning to see what the two rear hubs out in the shed are. Almost definitely Shimano but no idea of the model; they may have common parts.

    FH-RM30 and FH-4600 or parts thereof any use to you or anyone else?

    @wingpig, how big is your garage?

    @gembo These were just tucked behind the bay tree. Nice and dry under there. Shifted them today as I took the rest of the top off the tree now that the pigeons have moved on.

    @wingpig

    Many thanks for checking in your bits box but sadly I don't think those hubs have cones suitable for my hub. The FH-RM30 has M10 x 15 mm cones whereas I need M10x16mm for the missing "special" left hand cone (so close!). The FH-4600 diagram annoyingly doesn't give measurements for the cones. But they don't look like my one - the seal ring is very different.

    Bike station it is! Let's hope they have something.

    Thanks again

    Hmm, seems the cone itself has a part number Y-3AE-98030. Hopefully I can pry the seals off and reuse them without disaster.

    Expect a post in the rubbish maintenance thread shortly...

    @wingpig these Cushy Doos (wood pigeons technically) as my pal tom calls them are very annoying birds. I am hearing your storage solution is ingenuous. Even after you have removed the Bay Leaves
