Recently repainted and overhauled my 1987 Fatchance Kicker. Upon inspection of the wheels cracks were discovered on both rims near some of the spokes. My original hubs are pretty beat and the bike shop couldn't locate new cones for them. My options are to either get a new wheelset, which will mean not just buying new wheels, but a derailleur, chain, and freewheel, which would be a drag as the cassette and chain are brand new and the derailleur is just fine, or to seek out an original Deore XT 6 speed cassette hubset. I've looked on eBay and have only seen ones at just under $300, which after factoring new rims, spokes, and the cost of labor, would be more expensive then the first option.
So my question is: does anybody have those hubs for sale, or maybe even know where I could locate cones for my hubs. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
