>>1777822cones are very very easy to replace. so are the balls. the cups are less so but they are also harder to destroy. only one cup out of 4 was destroyed on this bike and its more than 40 years old. 3 of the cones were destroyed. this one particularly. cones should be a dollar each or less. balls should be 5 cents each or less. cups a dollar each. all are pretty standardised for old bikes - if you have QR. nutted hubs have a lot of different standards.
