I was given a rear wheel (mavic helium hub/mavic helium rim
28 hole 3X drive, radial non drive) recently and would like
to run it. the rim seems okay, the spokes are mostly okay
except for some gouges from the chain on one and the
remaining bearing seems okay. however, the cartridge bearing
on the non drive side is missing except for the outer race
which is pitted and stuck in the hub, and the axle, which is
2 peice, will not thread together.
it shouldnt be too hard to remove the race but finding
a replacement cartridge bearing may be expensive and
or impossible. does anyone know the size or cheap
sources for it?
also, im assuming one peice of the axle or both need
replacement. is there a trick to getting the axle back
together? i dont think its broken, but some threads may be
stripped out. how much will complete or partial
replacement be?
how should i go about pressing in the new bearing once
found? is there anything else missing from the hub? any
opinions on this hub, rim, or wheel in general? thanks so
much in advance.
