I've had some cones work themselves loose on a Dynacraft rear wheel resulting in enough play to cause the dust cover under the freewheel to get mangled. I've had this happen once before on this wheel, and found I needed try 5 bike shops before I found a shop that had a match.
Since this is a low end beater, I was wondering is it possible to just cut a disc from metal or plastic or cardboard of appropriate diameter to cover the bearings and perhaps just glue the cover in place or would that be prone to comming loose? Or could I just find a washer and drill out the axle hole and grind down the diameter to size?
