Title: Cluncking sound from the front wheel...
Post by: adobe wan kanobe on October 11, 2010, 07:36 PM

It's been doing it for about a year now.
I thought it was the ball bearings, but they're okay.

Anyone know where I can get new cones from, the bike shops near me are useless.
The cones are narrow (15mm). I've put the 'normal' size one in the pic for reference.

Thanks, but my instincts tell me they're big 'uns.

Not that there's much in it -
